Description

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

When the "no port selected" screen pops-up, also add the FTDI driver link. I've spent quitte some time yesterday trying to get my Wemos D1 mini working(esp8266). I probably is a cheap clone, thus the drivers listed in the screen don't work.
