Workday Binary Sensor

The workday binary sensor indicates, whether the current day is a workday or not. It allows specifying, which days of the week counts as workdays and also uses the python module holidays to incorporate information about region-specific public holidays.

• province (Optional): Province code according to holidays notation (defaults to None).
• workdays (Optional): List of workdays (defaults to mon, tue, wed, thu, fri).
