I would love HUB75 matrix support in ESP@Home. The panels come in many maxtrix, dimensions and LED pitches and make great status displays for almost anything.
I would love too
+1 for the idea of incorporating the functionality of the repo:
Is this display being supported by Arduino_FGX? When so then please note that i'm working on an integration of it slowly.

I got this working with pimoroni interstate75 board you should be able to adapt it to your needs https://github.com/AaronJackson/interstate75-esphome/
Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like
A few weeks ago I bought a LED Matrix panel (Clone of a Waveshare model from here: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/RGB-Matrix-P3-64x64) and would love to display some information on it via ESPHome!
My specific panel uses a FM6124B and RUC7258D with a HUB75 connector to drive the LED Matrix in front. So far I only found that ESPHome supports FastLED, which this panel can't use since it's a completely different way of driving those panels. The HUB75 based ones can easily be hooked together to form a bigger display if wanted.
Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:
I tried (and successfully) got the panel running with the following library: https://github.com/mrfaptastic/ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-DMA
However I'm not at all a programmer and apart from the "It works!" factor I can't do much more with it sadly.
Additional context
Having this support would mean people could potentially build some "LaMetric" knockoffs easily with this :)
