Hi.
Is there any way an implementation of the "I2C" led driver KP18058 or KP18068 could be added to ESPHome?
A range of very affordable Bulbs is available with BK7231n (working with LibreTiny) using the 18058/18068 is now available. Everything works up to a point of ESPHome having no support for the driver. ESPhome has all else in place already, except for the led driver support.
LibreTiny works, but needs ESPHome to support it first... I got the bulbs flashed and working, but will not light up as the LED driver is not implemented.
p.kacmarek and his team made a huge progress and all the work is basically done:

It's a derivation of I2C as it's function is fully described here:
