Add VL53L0X about espresense HOT 7 CLOSED

I had a really hard time with these sensors.
I ordered tree of them, and not one works. I tried it first in ESPresense, but no data. Even with a normal ESP-Home installation, I don't get data.

At first there are strange NACK errors.

The sensor got found on the i2c bus at the correct address. But after the boot, i never got data.

I tried all three sensors, with an ESP32 and an ESP8266 with ESPhome.
Did you have luck with this sensor?

Sorry, I haven't yet gotten to hooking it up. Have you tried this one: https://github.com/Lyr3x/Roode/tree/dev (dev branch is the only one that's an esphome external component)

Thanks for the links.
Sadly, I returned late from Amsterdam and had zero time this weekend. And I'm starting a new job tomorrow and be not at home till the weekend. So this project must wait a little longer. :/

I tried Roode and it didn't work. Ranger did https://github.com/frameworklabs/ranger
