MMC5983 Magnetometer

The mmc5983 component allows you to use your MMC5983 triple-axis magnetometer (datasheet, SparkFun) with ESPHome.

The I²C Bus is required to be set up for this sensor to work. The device supports 400kHz operation, so you may specify up to frequency: 400kHz in your i2c configuration.
