Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
The Panasonic H & J Series Aquarea air-water heat pump had same sensors and settings. This settings and sensors are visible over UART. The communication protocol is reverse engineered by Egyras (https://github.com/Egyras/HeishaMon/blob/master/ProtocolByteDecrypt.md)
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
I wand to monitor and control the head pump with Home Assistant. Egyras has an nice solution for this. But I think it is better to use esphome. One ESP ecosystem for many use cases.
**Additional context**
Many information's are in Egyras repository (https://github.com/Egyras/HeishaMon)
It exist an ready to use PCB to connect the esp to the head pump (https://www.tindie.com/products/thehognl/heishamon-communication-pcb/)

Research direction
Start with the linked HeishaMon ProtocolByteDecrypt.md and the HeishaMon repository to understand the reverse-engineered UART protocol. Compare the documented sensors and settings with the requested ESPHome integration; done means the Panasonic H and J Series heat pumps can be monitored and controlled through ESPHome.
