Wyze Bulb Color (RGBW) Tunable Custom Component for use with ESPHome

I've used these bulbs with Tasmota for a while, but prefer ESPHome and the customization options that seem more intuitive with ESPHome.

Here's a link to the Tasmota template and bulb reference: https://templates.blakadder.com/wyze_WLPA19C.html

Instructions for using this component:

Make a folder for "custom_components" alongside your ESPHome files
- https://esphome.io/custom/custom_component.html (these are being deprecated and I'll have to adjust in the future for an "external component")
- In my case, running within Docker, I have a "custom_components" folder that's in the same directory as the "bulb_wyze_color" directory
Copy "init.py", "light.py", and "wyzeRGBW.h" into that directory
Include the text from the "wyzeRGBW.yaml" in your ESPHome config for the light
Add any other custom components and light effects in your YAML
Flash the light
- Keep in mind, the esp-idf framework that makes BLE tracking more efficient requires a non-OTA flash to reformat the partition
Enjoy a tunable white feature running ESPHome on a cool ESP32 enabled LED bulb!

From what I can tell, these projects helped inform the way I created this code (along with some sanity checking from ChatGPT):

Thanks for checking this out and I hope you find it useful!
