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

I have already the home automation setup with help of ESPHome and Home Assistant all using the WiFi. But I want extend the coverage outside the Home area where LORA will be helpful. Please add the Lora into ESPHome

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:

I have purchased the SX1262 SPI based Lora Module and tried both the Custom SPI Device(with RadioLib library) and External Components (https://github.com/PaulSchulz/esphome-lora-sx126x), but it is failed. and also difficult for me to port

Additional context

Have you looked into https://github.com/StuartsProjects/SX12XX-LoRa It's a good option too

Thanks for sharing the details

I am using the NodeMCU(ESP8266) on one side and Raspberry pi Pico W on another side with SX1262 lora module

Currently I am facing lot of struggle on library porting into the ESPHome environment.

Adding direct support in ESPHome or alternate method will help here.
