+Generic I²C device component:
+-----------------------------
+.. _i2c_device:
+
+General-purpose I²C device component that can be used to communicate with hardware not supported by a specific component. It allows selection of the I²C address. Reads and writes on the device can be performed with lambdas. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    i2c:
+        sda: 4
+        scl: 5
+        scan: True
+
+    i2c_device:
+      id: i2cdev
+      address: 0x2C
+
+   on...:
+     then:
+       - lambda: !lambda |-
+           id(i2cdev).write_byte(0x00, 0x12);
+           if (auto b = id(i2cdev).read_byte(0x01)) {
+             // TODO
+           }
+
