How do you get rid of the ask to run restriction to use automation for lock devices (August lock)?

Well that’s really stupid, because it stops you from setting locks to automatically lock every time you leave, making your house less secure if you forget to do it yourself. I wonder how many other people have this problem. It would be nice if they were going to put restrictions on how you choose to use your devices, just make it a default setting and give the user the option to turn it off.
