Programmed machines has been around for centuries and is well understood and
documented. HTML meets the definition of programming. A definition that
pre-dated computers. The answer is black and white.

I used modify stock controllers and design additional cards for them. The
RCA 1802 was popular since it was CMOS. Most do have sensors, many do not.
Many just repeat the same sequence with possible an electro-mechanical clock
that would switch to a simple flasher. Many small towns prefer these much
cheaper systems.
