Prototype Working Fine for more than a Year, I have create a PCB, but I haven't ordered it yet. Its not up to my test I might redo it later kind of busy with my new repair shop opening end of next month. I will post the full Project on GitHub.
I have attached the main section as screenshot.
I will attach Prototype Pic in this week, when I will clean my desktop this week.
For yaml visit Github Gist

Instead of using a text sensor for the uptime, use a regular sensor with only seconds published and set device_class: duration HA will show it friendly for you

#

then you only have to track seconds inside ESPHome too
