Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

I bought a Soil Moisture Sensor from BeFlE which is called SoMoSe (v2.2).
https://github.com/BeFlE/SoMoSe
I got it working using the analog Pin of the Sensor and have readings in Esphome/HomeAssistant.
But i was not able to integrate the digital I²C Sensor in Esphome as i am not so skilled with programming.
I read the Documentation about Custom Sensors but again ... i am not a programmer and did not succeed.

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

Get Soil Moisture Readings for my Chiliplants via the digital Sensor (I²C) from BeFlE SoMoSe Sensor.
Analog is working but not very accurate.

Research direction

Start with the linked BeFle SoMoSe repository and ESPHome's Custom Sensors documentation, then determine how the sensor's digital I²C interface exposes readings. Done means ESPHome can integrate the SoMoSe v2.2 digital sensor and provide soil-moisture readings for Home Assistant; the issue names no project files or tests.
