RPi 5 GPIO Support yet

Hi,

If there is any support, it won’t be via stock HAOS/ HASS due to ADR-0019:

home-assistant/architecture/blob/8631a749058299f2b309226e1afd508ae5c12cc2/adr/0019-GPIO.md

# 0019. GPIO

Date: 2021-12-20

## Status

Accepted

## Context

We currently have a lot of integrations that use or are based on GPIO (including SPI and I2C busses).

- All of these integrations have a low usage count (source Home Assistant Analytics),
  but add the same amount of maintenance and review time to the core.
- Most of these integrations are unmaintained.
- The use of GPIO via containers (including our Home Assistant OS, Container
  & Supervised installation methods) is often unstable or complicated.
- Support for GPIO on specific platforms/SBCs: mileage varies (e.g., Raspberry Pi on 64 bits platforms).
- The use of these sensors, in general, is better supported and done via dedicated projects like ESPHome.

The original RPi GPIO add-on moved to HACS, but my fix was to move from direct GPIO to ESPhome or Tasmota. On balance, maintaining a £4 Wemos D1 Mini Clone with ESPhome works fine and insulates (security and literally electrically) the RPi from hardware problems.

IMHO, a cheap RPi3b might be have been worth a hardware punt for a few DS18B20 or similar, but a £60+ RPi5 isn’t.
