Bug description

It is a bank holiday in GB, England on 29/08/22, however the scheduler card states the next run time will be Monday.

Steps to reproduce

workday code is defined like this;

`# Example 1 configuration.yaml entry binary_sensor:

• platform: workday country: GB province: England workdays: [mon, thu, fri] excludes: [sat, sun, holiday] add_holidays:
  • '2022-08-26'`

Created schedule Office - Heat To - 20.5, Workdays, Time 7am.

The next run time on the schedule states Monday at 7am.

If i amend my workday definition, such as below, next run time is Thursday.

Example 1 configuration.yaml entry

binary_sensor:

• platform: workday country: GB province: England workdays: [thu, fri] excludes: [sat, sun, holiday]

Sorry for the late response. I'm a bit confused by contradictive info provided, please help me clarify.

If I understand correctly you defined working days to be: mon, thu, fri. And your schedule is configured to trigger on working days, Correct?

You state that 29/08/22 is a bank holiday, which is a Monday. However the code you share for the workday integration mentions 26/08/2022, which is a Friday. I assume we are talking about 29/08/22?

Did the schedule actually trigger on 29/08/22 ? The workday sensor in HA only can tell whether the current day is a working day or not. Hence scheduler cannot tell in advance (e.g. on Friday 26/08/2022) whether the next Monday will be a holiday. However, on the day itself, around 00:00, the scheduler will re-schedule (based on the state of the binary_sensor.workday_sensor) and skip the current day. This is a limitation of the workday integration, I don't see a way around this at this point.
