Child Custody Command Line Sensor

So I have an odd custody schedule with my ex. My kids are not home every day, and it varies every other week.

But I wanted to automate lights and stuff to either come on when they get home from school or on days they are not home then they come on right before I get home from work.

So after searching the forum for something similar I ended up using some similar examples to make my own.

/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/sensors.yaml

- platform: command_line
  name: Have Kids In Evening
  command: "python3 /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/scripts/has_kids_evening.py"
  scan_interval: 10800
  
- platform: template
  sensors:
    kids_home_in_the_evening:
      friendly_name: "Kids home in the evening"
      value_template: >-
        {% if is_state('sensor.have_kids_in_evening', '0') %}
          No
        {% elif is_state('sensor.have_kids_in_evening', '1') %}
          Yes
        {% endif %}

/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/scripts/has_kids_evening.py

import datetime
import json

today = datetime.date.today()
has_kids_evening = None;
if (today.isocalendar()[1] & 1) == 0:
    if today.weekday() == 0:
        has_kids_evening = 1;
    elif today.weekday() == 1:
        has_kids_evening = 1;
    elif today.weekday() == 2:
        has_kids_evening = 0;
    elif today.weekday() == 3:
        has_kids_evening = 0;
    elif today.weekday() == 4:
        has_kids_evening = 1;
    elif today.weekday() == 5:
        has_kids_evening = 1;
    elif today.weekday() == 6:
        has_kids_evening = 1;
else:
    if today.weekday() == 0:
        has_kids_evening = 0;
    elif today.weekday() == 1:
        has_kids_evening = 0;
    elif today.weekday() == 2:
        has_kids_evening = 1;
    elif today.weekday() == 3:
        has_kids_evening = 1;
    elif today.weekday() == 4:
        has_kids_evening = 0;
    elif today.weekday() == 5:
        has_kids_evening = 0;
    elif today.weekday() == 6:
        has_kids_evening = 0;

print(has_kids_evening)
