Description

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

I'm trying to use the host platform in the ESPHome Home Assistant add-on, but I encountered a compilation error stating that GCC is missing. I would like to request that the ESPHome Home Assistant add-on support the host platform.

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

While I know Home Assistant itself can handle many things, ESPHome offers some unique advantages. For example, ESPHome provides more options in the Modbus components compared to Home Assistant. Additionally, ESPHome allows for embedding automation rules into a single component, reducing the need to modify configurations in multiple places. Home Assistant, on the other hand, requires creating several scattered automation rules. Supporting the host platform within the ESPHome Home Assistant add-on would be an excellent feature.

**Additional context**

This feature would allow users to take advantage of ESPHome’s strengths in managing hardware integrations and automations efficiently, beyond what Home Assistant can do alone.
