[v2] Proper external component for height sensor

[jamesmyatt]

I think works as an external component. See #67. Can be tested by using the yaml config from the PR with:

external_components:
  source: github://jamesmyatt/[email protected]
  components: [ loctekmotion_desk_height ]

This is modelled on the code for https://esphome.io/components/sensor/a01nyub.html. Which can be found here: https://github.com/esphome/esphome/tree/dev/esphome/components/a01nyub.

Thanks a lot! I will try this in the coming week(s).

@jamesmyatt, would you want to be added here as well? If you want to maintain this as well, or rather just a one-off contribution.

[jamesmyatt]

Thanks, but it's probably easiest to leave it as it is for now. You're the only one with write access.

@iMicknl , I'm happy for you to make me a contributor/maintainer to this repo and add me to the CODEOWNERS here, if you want. I can help triage some of the issues.

[iMicknl]

Can you do a PR adding to the codeowners? I am now afk on holidays, but can arrange it in a week! :-)

[jamesmyatt]

This feels like a better name for the component, since "sensor" seemed redundant

[iMicknl]

Thanks a lot!

@iMicknl , the config in this PR assumes a "v2.2" branch in this repo. Can you add one or change the config to v2.1, please?
