Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
SIM800L: has a nice FM radio built-in. Has speaker output. Something like below would be nice:
- switch to turn radio ON/OFF (`AT+FMOPEN` and `AT+FMCLOSE`)
- number to set audio volume (`AT+FMVOLUME`)
- number to set FM frequency (`AT+FMFREQ`)
- action to start FM scanning (`AT+FMSCAN`)
- sensors with currently tuned in frequency and signal strength (`AT+FMSIGNAL`)
Implement it as `media_player`.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
The module could be very useful during idle times when no GSM usage is active.

Research direction
Start with the linked Arduino radio example and the SIM800 Series FM Application Note to understand the AT+FMOPEN, AT+FMCLOSE, AT+FMVOLUME, AT+FMFREQ, AT+FMSCAN, and AT+FMSIGNAL commands. Done should cover the requested media_player controls plus sensors for tuned frequency and signal strength.
