ESPHome Coding Practices, Tips and Tricks - Tutorial 3 - Our First Device

This series, "Coding Practices, Tips and Tricks", is specifically designed for intermediate ESPHome users who have already completed my tutorial on "Creating a Room Sensor from Scratch" and are looking to take their skills to the next level.
This is the intermediate version of my popular "ESPHome Basic setup for all devices".
In this tutorial, we will discuss the Board Module and create a functional device along with some tips and tricks to level up your ESPHome skills.
