I have finished the Powerpal ESPHome component:

It’s not PR’d to ESPhome yet, but you can use it via external_components like this:

external_components:
  - source: github://WeekendWarrior1/esphome@powerpal_ble
    # requires ble_client because I had to add some small features to authenticate properly
    components: [ ble_client, powerpal_ble ]

# optional requirement to enable powerpal cloud uploading
#http_request:
#  id: powerpal_cloud_uploader

# optional requirement used with daily energy sensor
time:
  - platform: homeassistant
    id: homeassistant_time

(Powerpal Total Energy is used to integrate the usage into the HA Energy Dashboard)

The component still needs a bit of a cleanup and extra features but I hope some people find it useful.

A little bit more documentation is in the readme:
