No way to set custom device tracking options for mikrotik hub

Home Assistant release with the issue: 0.98.4

Last working Home Assistant release (if known): 0.97.2

Component/platform: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/mikrotik/

Description of problem: Before 0.98.0 it was possible to set consider_home, interval_seconds and other options from https://www.home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker/ page. After PR #25664 it’s now impossible. Even if it’s possible, I don’t see any documentation. device_tracker docs say nothing about config for separate components. mikrotik docs say nothing about these options too. Even more, they don’t describe track_devices option, but use it in the example below 😑.

@slackr31337 can you reply?

This issue was already mentioned in https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/25772#issuecomment-526764264.

What I tried:

mikrotik:
  - host: 192.168.0.1
    username: root
    password: !secret router
    consider_home: 8
    interval_seconds: 3
    track_devices: True

Got:

Any news?

I think it’s a good example of how to not make a code review 😞 . You approve something which totally breaks backward compatibility and everybody is waiting 4+ months for a fix.
