Good afternoon! is it possible to connect the TEMT6000 light sensor in this firmware? If Yes, then what type of device it is necessary to choose

It seems to have an analog output, so you should be able to connect that to the analog in port of an ESP. You may need to add a voltage divider as not all ESP have that installed by default (standard input range is 0-1Volt). If you need higher accuracy you could use an ADS1115 converter that offers 16 bit A/D conversion, instead of the 10 bit A/D converter in an ESP8266 or 12 bit A/D converter in an ESP32.

Just as extra information. Most ESP8266 boards like NodeMCU or Wemos D1 mini have resistors to change the range from 0 ... 1V to 0 ... 3.3V.
