Solar powered Weather Station

This will be topic of one of my next videos.
For now, I'll be working here on the code.
Sensors:
- BMP280 temperature & pressure sensor (waiting for BME280 to add humidity)
- BH1750 Lux sensor
- DS18B20 temperature sensor
- Rain gauge/sensor
- Wind speed and direction sensor
Board also supports UV sensors, but ESPHome doesn't have internal support for it.
As I'm still waiting for some components, currently tested and working is: Temperature and Pressure sensor & rain sensor.
Battery status is not showing correct values and have to tweak it, but it gets charged.
Board goes to deep sleep after 45 seconds and sleeps 5 minutes. This can be further tweaked, but wouldn't recommend going below 4-5 minutes.
Also, there is an issue with wind sensor and looking into replacing it with other to rule out possible hardware incompatibility.
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
Current ESPHome code for Weather station works great.
I did remove rain gauge from it at the end and converted it to use 9-10$ Aqara Door & Window sensor to track rain. Than in Home Assistant added it via few template sensors and utility meter.
