What would you do ? Man cave question

I purchased a three light traffic light to hang outside of my two car man cave . I am asking for advice on how to wire it up . I just received a sequencer board to make the light work like it does on the street . So I can wire the light to come on with a wall switch , so turn the light on and it will continue to sequence red/green/yellow until the switch is turned off .

Or I can wire it with a wall switch AND a motion sensor . Flip the switch on and any car or person coming into " view " triggers the light . I am torn on the motion sensor as it is one more thing to go wrong . And I really don't expect to have the light on all that much , it is a decoration all by itself . What do you think guys ?

Personally I like the motion sensor idea.

It'd be cool if you could select the color that is illuminated depending upon your mood, plus motion.

Tap into some AI so when it sees the wife or whoever might interrupt your shop time it instantly turns read. Its always green when it sees beer, unless its chit beer, then its yellow.

Install WIFI and have you phone monitor your heart rate and have the lights indicate your current rate.
