A time-of-flight controlled touchless device is disclosed. The time-of-flight controlled touchless device includes a time-of-flight sensor and a microcontroller in operable communication with the time-of-flight sensor. The microcontroller is configured to command the time-of-flight sensor to emit a photon in a predefined direction, command the time-of-flight sensor to receive the photon reflected off a surface, determine a target object's distance based on a time-of-flight between emitting the photon and receiving the photon, compare the target object's distance to a predefined range, and, responsive to the target object's distance being within the predefined range, command an actuator on a dispensing valve to activate to dispense a liquid.
