The `workday` binary sensor indicates whether the current day is a workday or not.
This can be used to make automations that act differently on weekdays vs weekends. For example, you could make your bedroom lights turn on (gently) at 7 in the morning if it is a weekday, but wait until 11 if it is a weekend day.

Watch how the `holiday` keyword is used. Your first instinct might be adding it to the `exclude` configuration, thinking it means skipping the holidays. It means to exclude the days in the holiday list from the workdays. So, when you exclude `holiday` and a workday falls on that day, that workday is excluded, and the sensor will be **off**. If you want every workday flagged with no regard to holidays, ensure that there is something in your `Excludes` configuration _other_ than `holiday`.
