Kincony a-16 using esphome toggle relays at boot up time

[nikhuge]

I am using kincony a16 with 16 relay board with esphome running but at the boot time all the relays  toggle  and make the relays on and off ...is their a way to stop this in the software side..this is become a big problem for me due all the appliance connect to relays suddenly become active and then turn off at the a16 booting up....below is my config
