Does HLW8012 and change_mode_every set to never work?

Could someone check whether the HLW8012 device works with the change_mode_every:never setting? I’m trying to set it up to measure current only and if I use the never setting it don’t produce any values. If I set it to a very large number it works OK

    update_interval: 3s
    initial_mode: CURRENT
    change_mode_every: never    # seems to generate no values

but this works:

    update_interval: 3s
    initial_mode: CURRENT
    change_mode_every: 4294967295    # about 408 years

I will put in an issue, but wanted another set of eyes on it to make sure it’s not something specific to my setup.

Thanks!
