[feature request] Possibility to remove auto-created sensors

[to4ko]

Feature request

What happened

It' will be good to have possibility to switch off additional entitys auto-created in Home Assistant - for Xiaomi Plug there is 3 entities created - switch, power and link quality. But last 2 of them are available as attributes in switch. It leads to additional DB recordings etc.
Yes they can be excluded from being recorded. But this is easy when 2 plug...and not so easy when 130+ devices .... simple option in config might solve this one very easily.

What did you expect to happen

How to reproduce it (minimal and precise)

Debug Info

Zigbee2mqtt version: 1.13
Adapter hardware: CC2538

You can skip the discovery of a sensor with the device specific options. E.g. to prevent a temperature sensor from being discovered:

devices:
  '0x00158d0001d82999':
    friendly_name: 'my_occupancy_sensor'
    retain: true
    homeassistant:
      temperature: null

is it possible to make this kind of settings for all the devices simultaneously? i have like 132 devices at the moment and it would be good to have possibility to list unwanted type of sensors.

In the latest dev branch this is now possibly by adding the following to your configuration.yaml.

device_options:
  homeassistant:
    temperature: null

@Koenkk am i doing something wrong?
here is devices.yaml

and i'm still having battery and linkquality in HA

After this you probably need to clear the retained MQTT discovery message.

How can I do that with the "cover"?
I have my Curtain completely closed, position = 100, and the Home Assistant have the Up Arrow disabled and Down Arrow avaliable. If I open the curtain putting position = 0, the Down arrow stay disabled.

I'd like to invert it.
