Linear capacitive touch sensor?

[hektor (Ulrich)]

Dear community!

I’m searching for a linear capacitive touch sensor that works with esphome.
Something like the “Trill flex” (or a stiff version)

Trill Flex

Unfortunately my programming skills are not sufficient to build the I2C connection myself, so I wonder if anyone knows of a product and library that can already achieve this?

Any hints are much apprechiated!

Not ideal, but might be easier than building external component from scratch.

Describe what it is you want from your sensor. Rather than describe how you think you want to do it tell us what you want to do.
