Description

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

I have two Weighing scales with HX711 for my reverse osmosis system, so I need to get data continously from both of them.

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

There is already 2 channels in HX711, but only one is possible to use. Workaround is to have two HX711 connected to one ESP

Research direction

Start by locating the HX711 integration and its current channel configuration. Compare the existing single-channel path with the sensor's A and B channels, then check how two continuous readings should be exposed to the ESPHome configuration. Done means both HX711 channels can be read continuously without requiring a second HX711 device.
