Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
I was wondering if you could please add the Skywriter: 3D Gesture Sensing Breakout to ESPHOME. The link is here: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/skywriter?variant=1047423445&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIu5KPyLX84AIVls13Ch1rVwRYEAQYByABEgKvkPD_BwE#description . It would be great to control other devices maybe via MQTT using the Skywriter 3D as it can penetrate through wood and longer distances than other gesture sensors.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
I have tried other gesture sensors but they are not as good as they do not allow sensing through wood and longer distances.
**Additional context**
Thanks a lot for all the effort on making ESPHome the go-to firmware for us, home automation and DIY lovers.
