There's not a good way to use this library with a SEL pin that's not tied to a GPIO.

I presented you with my first PR ( https://bitbucket.org/xoseperez/hlw8012/pull-requests/2 ), but you wanted a different API than I proposed. I tried to fix it in another PR ( https://bitbucket.org/xoseperez/hlw8012/pull-requests/3 ) but you again expressed dissatisfaction with that API. Could you please present an API you'd be happy with, and I'd be happy to write the code for it? I'd like to get this fixed.

Just found a nice device that uses hardwired SEL and ignores CF1: shelly1pf (from shelly.cloud ). What about just passing an invalid pin (42? :) ) as CF1 pin and SEL pin? Should require minimal changes. Obviously some methods will be useless: is it better to return 'invalid' values or an exception?
