The Discovery component is capable of setting up your components before firing the `SERVICE_DISCOVERD` event. To do this you will have to update the [`SERVICE_HANDLERS`](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/discovery.py#L29) constant in [the `discovery` component](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/discovery.py).
