Reading data from ESP32 RX pin and sending to HomeAssistant

Hi all, I’m trying to wire up my standing desk controller with esphome. I’ve got the rx on the controller wired to the rx on an ESP32 and I’m getting the following:

[22:55:10][D][uart_debug:114]: <<< 00:07:01:55:73:AA:0A
[22:55:10][D][uart_debug:114]: <<< 00:07:01:55:73:AA:0A
[22:55:10][D][uart_debug:114]: <<< 00:07:01:55:73:AA:0A
[22:55:10][D][uart_debug:114]: <<< 00:07:02:55:73:AA:0A
[22:55:10][D][uart_debug:114]: <<< 00:07:02:55:73:AA:0A
[22:55:10][D][uart_debug:114]: <<< 00:07:02:55:73:AA:0A

from

uart:
- id: rx
  baud_rate: 9600
  rx_pin: 3
  debug:
    direction: RX
    dummy_receiver: true
    after:
      delimiter: "\n"

The pertinent bits seem to be the first 3, the height being 071cm / 072cm.
My c++ is non-existent, can anyone give me some pointers on how I would go about sticking that in a sensor that gets through to Home Assistant? I’ve had a look at and a go at a custom component but to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated!
