Exclude August Lock Not on Connect Hub

Configuration
1

I have two Gen2 August Smart Locks added to HA. One is not on a Connect Hub and thus not controllable via HA although it still shows up. The log gets spammed with failed attempts to communicate with the lock so I would like to exclude it. I have tried the syntax below to no avail. When I restart HA I don’t get the UI back which always tells me it’s choking on something in the configuration.yaml. Looking for suggestions to remove this entity from my config since it’s worthless without the hub.

I have the exact same issue here. Have you found a solution?

I solved it by buying a Connect hub for the 2nd lock. Gives me control of the lock through HA and stops the errors. Two birds, one $80 stone.
