UniFi new device tracking

I am trying to track a new device (my phone) which wasn’t connected during the initial UniFi integration install. I see from reading 2022.2: Let's start streamlining! - Home Assistant that this is disabled at default but I don’t know how to enable it for this specific device? A hand, anyone?
Thanks!

Improved handling of device tracker entities

If you run an integration that provides device trackers from your router or something like the UniFi Network integration, you are probably aware those can create many entities!

This has been improved now. As of today, by default, only device tracker entities that match up with an existing - known by Home Assistant - device will be enabled by default. This keeps Home Assistant nice and tidy.

If Home Assistant does not know the device, but you still would like to track a specific one, that is still possible. In that case, you can enable the particular device tracker entities you’d like to have.

To get a list of entities filtered on the Unifi Integration.

Then click on any of your disabled entities you want to enable:

When the entity opens, there will be Advanced Settings at the bottom, expand it:

Click the Enabled radio button, then don’t forget to click Update

Thanks for responding.
Unfortunately this didn’t do it, the phone doesn’t appear in the entities list. Perhaps there is a manual way to add it by MAC address?

I know this is old so perhaps it was answered elsewhere.
I did what was described above. In order to find the right entity in the list, I looked on my phone to find the MAC address. The entity name of my phone in HA includes this MAC address (each two digits separated with an “_”).

If you named the device it is not listed under the MAC but instead the name. This fixed me up, thanks!

I am running into a similar issue, only a small number of my devices appear in the UniFi integration.
What is odd is that the device tracker entities are not disabled.

What can I do to add devices to UniFi?

UniFi Device Tracker:

The device must appear under the UniFi Devices list to force it to reconnect as a wireless client.

I do not remember doing anything unique for devices like my monitor to appear combined:
