Template sensor fails when using as binary_sensor

binary_sensor:
  - platform: command_line
    name: Status
    scan_interval: 60
    command: "/Users/server/scripts/status.sh"
    value_template: "{{ value }}"

The script returns True or False (tested with on and off). The status is alway unknown.

But it worked like this:

sensor:
  - platform: command_line
    name: Status
    scan_interval: 60
    command: "/Users/server/scripts/status.sh"
    value_template: "{{ value }}"

What is wrong here?
