Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like

The 8x8 matrix LED Shield for the wemos D1 mini platform should be supported by esphome. This is a cheap device targeted at DIY projects. It uses a TM1640 controller, which is currently not supported by esphome.

I want to use this device as a flexible smart home status display, e.g. integrated into key hanger with one LED per open window, so you can check when leaving the house with one glance if windows have been left open.

TM1640 currently unsupported.

I would appreciate this too.

I would be very happy about it!

It is very easy to create your own component with external_components feature of Esphome. I just did this for a very old 16 digit TM1640 board, by copying and modifying TM1637 component

Would very much appreciate native support for this little LED matrix screen.

I purchased the Shield Matrix Led of the WeMos D1 Mini and I would like to program it in ESPHome. Could we have native integration for all the WeMos D1 Mini Shields?
