Yes, sorry, it's still on my todo list. I am trying to fix the last
issue I can think of which is problematic:
if you happen touch again the sensor when the deferred timeout starts,
both threads will access the input node, and this can create some
nasty behaviors.

I am not 100% sure we can rely on classic solutions (spinlock,
mutexes) because in these 2 concurrent threads we are in places where
we can not stop.

So I'll need to conduct more tests and find a better/simpler solution
to not hit that. Sorry for the delay.

I'd like you to give a test when I finally get something. However,
it's not on my top priority list, sorry for that.

Cheers,
Benjamin
