[How to] UART read without custom component

legends, that has the M701 - 7 in 1 air sensor working. I get the following error in the logs tho: “Component uart took a long time for an operation (93 ms)” and “Components should block for at most 30 ms.”
I think I need to add a delay or something.
Would it be easy to turn this to an external component now to make it easier for others to use this air sensor?
here is the .yaml

logger:
  baud_rate: 9600

uart:
  id: uart_bus
  baud_rate: 9600
  tx_pin: 16
  rx_pin: 17
  debug:
    direction: RX
    dummy_receiver: true
    after:
      delimiter: "\r\n"
    sequence:
      - lambda: |-
          UARTDebug::log_hex(direction, bytes, ',');                 // Log the message as int. 
          ESP_LOGD("custom", "Bytes size: %d", bytes.size());        // Log how many bytes in the message.
          if (direction == UART_DIRECTION_RX)                        // Check message direction (Change to TX if required)
            {
                if (bytes[0] == 0x3C && bytes[1] == 0x02)                       
                  {
                    int eCO2 = (bytes[2] << 8) | bytes[3];
                    int eCH2O = (bytes[4] << 8) | bytes[5];
                    int TVOC = (bytes[6] << 8) | bytes[7];
                    int PM2_5 = (bytes[8] << 8) | bytes[9];
                    int PM10 = (bytes[10] << 8) | bytes[11];
                    float temperature = bytes[12] + bytes[13] / 100.0;
                    float humidity = bytes[14] + bytes[15] / 100.0;
                    id(eCO2_sensor).publish_state(eCO2);
                    id(eCH2O_sensor).publish_state(eCH2O);

                    id(temperature_sensor).publish_state(temperature);
                    id(humidity_sensor).publish_state(humidity);
                  }
            }
