I have just tried the new way to create template sensor via the UI.

My try to rename the state to another name:

But as you can see in the preview at the bottom the state is shown as “Abwesend” instead of “no way”.

Binary sensors can only have 2 states : on and off. The device class makes stem show something else in the front end.
