Sensor for Holidays

[vnguyen972 (Vu Nguyen)]

I tried to install this custom components in “custom_components/sensor” folder and after adding:

• platform: isholiday
  name: free.tomorrow
  country: “US”
  days_ahead: 1

and I got this error when restarting:

• Platform not found: sensor.isholiday

Any idea what I’m missing?

EDIT: after reading more about that workday sensor… I think I can use it for holidays as well… THANKS!

(it only updates once per minute) [image] To implement, create a custom_components directory in the root of your Home Assistant directory. Inside that, create a sensor …
