Description

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

Is it possible to add a support for the following sensor:
https://www.tindie.com/products/aprbrother/esp-soil-moisture-sensor-rev-21/
This sensor uses TMP112 with I2C which is not support by default
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

I have tried to create a custom sensor but that turned out to be more complex than it seems for my beginner C++ programming skills.

I have also checked
https://github.com/esphome/feature-requests/issues/179
but such an emplementation will be limited to the manual calculation for the moisture but will miss the temp sensor (tmp112)

Being a fan of ESPHome and I have implemented it through out my home it only makes sense to have a proper implementation for such a device.

thanks in advance.
