Echo Occupancy Sensors and Light Sensors cannot be locked out

Symptoms/Issue

I would like my Echo Occupancy Sensors or Light Sensors to be locked out so that they do not change the lighting state of a space.

Description/Explanation of Issue

Echo Occupancy Sensors and Light Sensors ignore the Lockout status of Echo spaces - in other words, they are always active and unlocked.  They behave this way in order to meet various energy codes.  This behavior cannot be changed.

In Firmware v3.1.0+, Echo Light Sensors, in custom mode, support a "Photo Preset Inhibit" function.  Certain Presets can be set as Photo Preset Inhibit.  When any of those presets is played, the Echo Light Sensor will not change the lighting level in the space.
