Hello, awesome work!! I got here from the landonr repo for this amazing Lilygo display.

I saw a similar sensor in my country advertised a while back and at the time I couldn't really find information about similar devices nor their integration with Home Assistant, which I am also a user of. Maybe I didn't look hard enough but now I am so glad that I found your project. This is exactly what I had in mind.

D'oh! Right after I posted I looked again closely and you can clearly see it has the Mopeka logo on it! I am so keen to try it out!

If you have one, then give it a try. When I tried to add the Lippert sensor to the existing config, even though it is obviously a Mopeka device, the Manufacturer ID was different, and displayed the new ID in the log. I added the ID to the Mopeka component, and am working on a PR to include it in the ESPHome component natively. If you get one, and it gives you a different ID, let me know and we can get that integrated as well!

Awesome, thank you for the tip, I will try and get one of these sensors but I may only get around to it early in the new year, but I will be sure to post my findings.
