guptamp 2018483d17 i2c: Add description of id Parameter (#329)
* Add description of id Parameter

see here: https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/625

* add id parameter and explantion to i2c

I hope this explains it better.

* Update components/i2c.rst

* Note sure if i have done the note right

In the preview it doesn't seem to render correctly

* Update i2c.rst

* Update i2c.rst

:description: Instructions for setting up the I²C bus to communicate with 2-wire devices in ESPHome
:image: i2c.png
:keywords: i2c, iic, bus
This component sets up the I²C bus for your ESP32 or ESP8266. In order for those components
to work correctly, you need to define the I²C bus in your configuration. Please note the ESP
will enable its internal 10kΩ pullup resistors for these pins, so you usually don't need to
put on external ones.
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
i2c:
sda: 21
scl: 22
scan: True
id: bus_a
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **sda** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin for the data line of the I²C bus.
Defaults to the default of your board (usually GPIO21 for ESP32 and GPIO4 for ESP8266).
- **scl** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-pin`): The pin for the clock line of the I²C bus.
Defaults to the default of your board (usually GPIO22 for ESP32 and
GPIO5 for ESP8266).
- **scan** (*Optional*, boolean): If ESPHome should do a search of the I²C address space on startup.
Defaults to ``True``.
- **frequency** (*Optional*, float): Set the frequency the I²C bus should operate on.
Defaults to ``50kHz``. Values are ``50kHz``, ``100kHz``, ``200kHz``, ... ``800kHz``
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`) Manually specify the ID for this I²C bus if you need multiple I²C buses.
.. note::
If the device can support multiple I²C buses (ESP32 has 2) these buses need to be defined as below and sensors need to be setup specifying the correct bus:
.. code-block:: yaml
# Example configuration entry
i2c:
- id: bus_a
sda: 13
scl: 16
scan: True
- id: bus_b
sda: 14
scl: 15
scan: True
# Sensors should be specified as follows
- platform: bme680
i2c_id: bus_b
address: 0x76
# ...
