Description

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

compatibility with the Bosch sensor tech sensor BMV080 to measure the amount of particles in the air

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

Measure the amount of particles in the air. The bmv080 is camera based without any fans so it will last longer than the usual laser based sensors.

**Additional context**

There’s an SDK dependency described here (https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_BMV080_Arduino_Library ) reminds me of the bme68x BSEC2 requirement.
In EU the Polverine board available here (bme690 + bmv080): https://pt.mouser.com/ProductDetail/392-BLK-POL-0001

Bmv080 alone, here: https://pt.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Bosch-Sensortec/Shuttle-Board-3.1-BMV080?qs=7%2F6SraaimPTdMJZGGt63hg%3D%3D

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked SparkFun_BMV080_Arduino_Library and its BMV080 SDK dependency, then determine how the sensor's particle measurements could fit the project. Done means ESPHome can communicate with the BMV080 and expose its air-particle readings, with the required SDK dependency documented.
