Lock switch from being toggled through Hass?

This may seem completely backwards, but I have a smart outlet that I actually never want toggled through HomeAssistant. LOL it’s an older mfi outlet and when using the mfi component it pulls in all the outlets attached to it. This outlet has my network equipment, hass server, and a few other things running through it. The only reason i have it plugged into a smart outlet in the first place is to use the power usage sensor it provides. Looking for a way to maybe lock it or hide the switch portion from the UI? TIA
