If/else value template not working for me

Configuration
1

I’m trying to get a value template in my config.yaml file to work, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I want it to set the state to Yes or No (but in Swedish) instead of On/Off. Anyone seeing what I missed? :slight_smile:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: workday
    country: SE
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      dronarvader:
        friendly_name: "Drönarväder"
        value_template: >-
          {% if is_state('sensor.vader_precipitation', '0.0') and states('sensor.trafikverket_sundsvall_wind_speed') | float < 7 %}
            Ja
          {% else %}
            Nej
          {% endif %}

AFAIK, binary_sensor can only have values like:

These sensors only have two states: 0/off/low/closed/false and 1/on/high/open/true .

If you want Yes/No, you may want to try sensor instead.

Thank’s, trying to add and remove spacing back and forward last hour but couldn’t get it to work, and the solution was that easy :slight_smile: Will try it right away!
