Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like
Hi!
I am trying to use a NTC thermistor to measure temps using my ESP32. This connects to the ADC pin (using a voltage divider). The issue is that a thermistor is not linear in its resitance along the temperature axis. To make measurements using a thermistor usable, one uses the Steinhart-Hart equation, as described here.
It takes three pairs of temperature/resistance as constants, and let you read out the calibrated temperature measured by the thermistor.
I was hoping the equation could be implemented in ESPhome, so that the end user was left with only gathering data on their thermistor.
Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:
Other temp sensors (such as the DHT22) can be directly connected to the ESP, but in some use cases the user is forced to use an already existing sensor. For example in my case, I am trying to control the floor heating in a tiled floor where the sensor is embedded into the concrete underneath the tiles. There simply is no other way of going about it.
This would enable the use of any NTC temp sensor (thermistor), such as high temperature sensors in hostile environments, and reading the temps directly on an ESP using the ADC functionality.
I think this is a versatile addition to ESPhome and it would enable the use of MANY sensors that doesn't need further support in ESPhome, outside this calibration tool.

The config could look something like this:
