Hey guys,
since a more or less long time i am trying to develop a custom component using or better saying trying to use other custom components and changing them.
The process how to develop a custom component was described ok in this guide: Custom Sensor Component — ESPHome but like there is said its deprecated. So and developing a custom component using external component, described here: External Components — ESPHome is not described very well. Is there a tutorial how a custom component is developed or its process is described? There are so many things which are unclear to me.
Thank you very much!

Unfortunately zenzay42’s skips the steps in the procedure and instead focuses on the specifics of his project. There is more to it than just copying a custom component .h file to a new directory structure and referencing it a YAML file. I assume this is easy for a developer that is very knowledgable about both implementations. It would be great if someone would walk us through it before Custom Components are depricated.

Yes exactly, i would be glad if someone could explain more or less the procedure as TLCary says.
Agreed, I am running into the same problem
