New Plugin Request : Touch sensors for ESP32

[happytm]

As you know ESP32 has 10 touch sensors built in. If possible please implement touch sensors as plugin. It will be very useful plugin to use this for either menu system with oled display or direct input to automate some actuators (used as a switch).

Thank you.

Interesting idea, and what do you think what plugin number could be used for it?

[TD-er]

I would suggest to use a new plugin for it, since it is a switch input only.
It is also something ESPeasy will have in the (near?) future, a switch input only plugin.

For the ESP32, it has the extra option to configure such a pin to wake the node.
For touch input, it does need very specific parameters like upper level/lower level to define the state.

Thanks TD-er do you have any idea what will be the plugin id of it in ESPEasy? Maybe P101 vs original P001? :)

[TD-er]

Nope, no idea yet, but I guess 101 is a nice one to have.
Otherwise it should be 91 or something, so 101 is fine.

Touch sensor support added in commit 5bb2747 in P102. It is a pure analog value, with a simple digital output mode if limits added correctly. But i am very displeased with it, as output values are floating around, so it is not a reliable input source. :(

In this article https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=629955.0 the solution was averaging 100 reading which looks like a little time-consuming. :(
