SFA30 Formaldehyde Sensor

The sfa30 sensor platform allows you to use your Sensirion SFA30 Formaldehyde (datasheet) sensors with ESPHome. The I²C Bus is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work. This sensor supports both UART and I²C communication. However, at the moment only I²C communication is implemented.
