Component/Hub
-------------
The ``mpr121`` sensor platform allows you to use your MPR121
(`datasheet <https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/adafruit-mpr121-12-key-capacitive-touch-sensor-breakout-tutorial.pdf>`__,
`Adafruit`_) Capacitive Touch Sensor with ESPHome. The :ref:`I²C <i2c>` is
required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.

# Example configuration entry
mpr121:
id: mpr121_component
address: 0x5A
touch_debounce: 1
release_debounce: 1
touch_threshold: 10
release_threshold: 7
binary_sensor:
- platform: mpr121
id: touch_key0
channel: 0
name: "Touch Key 0"
touch_threshold: 12
release_threshold: 6
Configuration variables:
------------------------
The configuration is made up of two parts: The central component, and individual Binary sensors per channel.
- **address** (*Optional*, integer): The I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to ``0x5A``.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this sensor.
- **touch_debounce** (*Optional*, integer): The minimum length before a touch is recognized. Range is from 0 to 7.
Defaults to 0.
- **release_debounce** (*Optional*, integer): The minimum length that no touch is recognized before a release event is created.
Range is from 0 to 7. Defaults to 0.
- **touch_threshold** (*Optional*, integer): The touch threshold for all channels. This defines the sensitivity for touch detection
and should be between 5 and 30 (lower = more sensitive). Defaults to 12. Typically the touch threshold is a little bigger than the release threshold.
- **release_threshold** (*Optional*, integer): The release defines the sensitivity for touch detection and should be between 5 and 30. Defaults to 6.
Binary Sensor
-------------
The ``mpr121`` binary sensor allows you to use your MPR121 with ESPHome.
First, setup a :ref:`mpr121-component` and then use this binary sensor platform to create individual
binary sensors for each touch sensor.
Configuration variables:
- **name** (*Optional*, string): The name for the binary sensor.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- **channel** (**Required**, integer): The channel number at the MPR121 the touchkey is connected to.
- **touch_threshold** (*Optional*, integer): A per-channel override of the global touch_threshold value. If not specified, uses the global value.
- **release_threshold** (*Optional*, integer): A per-channel override of the global release_threshold value. If not specified, uses the global value.
- All other options from :ref:`Binary Sensor <config-binary_sensor>`.
