cjmcu-8118 for room sensor

[LudoFr]

Hello,
I would like to use a cjmcu-8118 circuit to make room sensors.
I feel that this chip is not supported by ESP Easy Mega.
Does anyone know the solution to add the library of this circuit and thus be able to recover the gas sensors, temperature and humidity?

As far as i know it is not supported at this time.

You may open a request on github at https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues

Interesting sensor...
I dont know if the library is really necessary (because of complexity)?

If not, my idea would be to have a generic "interface scripting plugin", which would allow to read, write, and manipulate data on different interfaces (i2c, spi, serial, etc).
The script only would require a few commands (read, write, some math) and at least 3 sections (init, measure, close), maybe a 4th "read".

This plugin would have multiple advantages:
* support new devices instantly
* uses less space, than x plugins in the binary (espeasy binary grows with every plugin and at one point in the future it will be too large, which will cause a lot more maintenance)
* the script would be hardware independent - it could be used on other devices and platforms also like esp23, µPyEasy, etc (with the according plugin)

Possible drawbacks:
* More initial effort than a standard plugin
* Performance (script has to be parsed, for timing sensitive tasks maybe preprocessed and cached)
* Not as user friendly as a plugin (definition of parameters inside of the script instead of gui - could be mitigated with some effort)

There is a plugin on the playground which may add support for at least a part of that board: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... CCS811.ino

I have no idea of the status of that plugin.
