Light sensor on water bottle filler


I was having trouble with the bottle refiller in the ferry terminal in Lerwick. Then I noticed the black dot at the bottom of the blue bottle graphic. Turns out it must be a light sensor which activates the water flow when it is dark enough. My bottle was completely clear so it wasn't blocking the light. Putting my hand around the bottle rectified the problem. I wonder what happens at night?
