 Fork the repository, add your device details to the JSON document `custom_components/battery_notes/data/library.json`, and then submit a pull request. Do not enable GitHub Actions (disabled by default) as this will mess with the pull request and are unnecessary for a library submission.
 
+* The easiest way to get the correct device information is to add the device manually, on the battery type panel you will see a summary at the top of the details required to add to the library.  This is also available if you go into configure of the device in battery notes.
 * The manufacturer and model should be exactly what is displayed on the Device screen within Home Assistant. If the Device screen has a Model ID or Hardware Version then this should be included.
 * In some rare cases models could contain unique identifiers and you want the battery type to apply to all models that match a pattern, in these instances you can use the optional model_match_method attribute.  For example Apple iPhone's have a model of iPhoneXX.X but all have a rechargeable battery, here you could use the "model_match_method": "startswith" and just specify iPhone as the model.
 * The manufacturer & model names may be different between integrations such as Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA, if you see a similar device please duplicate the entry rather than changing it.
