Adding MQTT Devices without discovery

@pjanuario wrote:

Hi,

I am using Zigbee2MQTT and although it does an amazing job with discovery true, I have my all setup on yaml (so fare at least) and automated, I am trying to configure a MQTT sensor with the device information on it.

Even if I use the configuration as documented the device doesn’t appear in the device list and configuration doesnt show any warning or error.

Any clue what am I doign wrong?
