I am using the workday sensor and it’s states are: On/Off.
I’d like to rename the state to Yes and No (instead of On / Off).
I’ve tried using this template sensor with no results (still getting On/Off):
template:
- sensor:
workday:
value_template: "{% if is_state('binary_sensor.workday.sensor', 'on') %}Yes{% else %}No{% endif %}"
What am i typing wrong?

Try this:
template:
- sensor:
- name: workday
state: >-
{% if is_state('binary_sensor.workday.sensor', 'on') %}
Yes
{% else %}
No
{% endif %}

Or short: {{ 'Yes' if is_state('binary_sensor.workday.sensor', 'on') else 'No' }}

I built my own, incorporates custom holidays and excludes weekends. FWIW.
date_workday:
value_template: >
{% set date = states('sensor.date') %}
{% set today = as_timestamp(date) | timestamp_custom("%A") %}
{% set holidays = [
'2021-01-01',
'2021-05-31',
'2021-07-05',
'2021-09-06',
'2021-11-25',
'2021-12-23',
'2021-12-24',
'2022-01-01',
] %}
{% if today == 'Saturday' %}
off
{% elif today == 'Sunday' %}
off
{% elif date in holidays %}
off
{% else %}
on
{% endif %}

That is the solution, thank you!
Slightly OT:
If you want to display if today and tommorow are working days, a new binary workday sensor has to be written with an additional line offset_days: 1
.
Thanks to everyone that contributed!
