Default switch: to off

How do I default the state of a switch? The documents say to invert for default.
Is there another way? I don’t need off to be on and on to be off logic changed.

switch:
  - platform: gpio
    name: "My Switch" 
    pin: 
      number: GPIO17
      #inverted: true        # This inverts the logic..  The on state is correct for me.

Or is there a way to turn the output off after boot?

restore_mode

ALWAYS_OFF - Always initialize the switch as OFF on bootup.
