SEN0676 Liquid Level Sensor - RV Tank Level Monitoring

Looking to use the SEN0676 sensor to monitor the fresh water tank level.

2 Questions

1.  My water tank is plastic ~.25" think. Will this sensor work mounted on the outside of the tank. My tank is about 24" tall.

2. I am in the ESPHome / Homeassistant world - is there esphome support for this sensor?

If there is a better sensor to use, let me know.

Cheers,

Kevin
