LinkIT 7697 platform support #410

Closed Valcob closed 4 years ago

Valcob commented 5 years ago

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

I would be so nice to have along with eps8266 and esp32 another not as well known platform MT 7697 which is so alike esp32 and in some cases even better.

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

It would be nice to reflash all xioami lights that have this module and bring them into ESPHOME family :) Additional context

As a good point of start would be the ref to Arduino lib and how Tos: Arduino Documentaion and a PDF about the chip itself: MT 7697 Datasheet

It needs to be supported by PlatformIO first https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/issues/992 (open since July 2017) and then, probably, it should not be a big problem.

No, ESPHome will only support ESPs (it's in the name of the project even).

Supporting the WiFi stack and some peripherals on the ESP8266/ESP32s is already enough work. Adding more platforms is not a path this project should go down.
