Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
I bought a JSN_SR04T sensor module from ebay, thinking it would work with the existing implementation in esphome. Turned out this is a slightly different flavor of controller which didn't work with the existing sensor component.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
As it turns out the module is a "RCWL-1655", which requires a different request format and delivers the measurement in 24 instead of 16 bits and without a checksum

**Additional context**
I've implemented support for this flavor of the distance sensor here:
