I did not say it didn't have a motion sensor. As I said in my post, it DOES have
ONE sensor (just read the 2nd line from my post that you quoted) but you
incorrectly stated that the sensors (plural) are the "eyes" (LEDs). They can
only emit light and not detect it. If you look closely at any frontal pictures
you can see where the sensor is located. It doesn't look like I can post
pictures here (anyone knows how?) so you'll have to check the ones from the
links above.
