Custom components are deprecated

[albinmedoc]

There is a deprecation message shown on ESPHome docs for custom sensor components. See below:

Custom components are deprecated, not recommended for new configurations and will be removed from ESPHome in a future release. Please look at creating a real ESPHome component and “importing” it into your configuration with External Components. You can find some basic documentation on creating your own components at Contributing to ESPHome.

While I do try to keep the ESPHome configuration options as stable as possible and back-port them, the ESPHome API is less stable. If something in the APIs needs to be changed in order for something else to work, I will do so.

This project has to adapt to keep make sure it keeps working through updates.

What I can see, that project is also using custom component.

At least now there is a test branch for getting rid of the custom component.
