KC868-16 Inputs and Outputs Stop Working After A Power Interruption

[norwoodbuilder]

Installed an KC868-16 for use in Home Assistant using ESPHome and YAML file supplied by KinCony.  Using static IP.  Board works fine until any kind of power disconnect, e.g. unplugging to avoid shorts while wiring.  After power is restored that board no longer works.  The switches for the outputs (12v attached) do not function and the inputs show as "Unavailable."  If I reload the YAML file the board returns to working condition.  I suspect this may be a YAML file issue.  Any suggestions on how to correct without reloading the software are most appreciated.
