Integrating existing MQTT devices

I have a bunch of devices around the house that have been designed to operate with Node Red. There are a lot, so I do’t want to change their code. They must stay ‘as is’.
They publish and subscribe to Node Red topics and are mostly simple values like temperature, light level, PIR status. I am trying to transistion from a working Node Red set up to Home Assistant. I have the MQTT add on installed but it is not detecting any devices. I can set up a single topic to monitor in the MQTT configuration and the value is correct. How can I add all the other topics I want to monitor. I’ll worry about publishing later. I tried editing the configuration.yaml and it shows a tick but it doesn’t work. It comes up as an error in Notifications

You have to create a mqtt entity for each device

How do I do that? Can you give an example?
