#How can I change the word an entity reports for status? i.e. change "on" to "occupied"

I'm running HA Blue, HACS, and an OpenGarage. I want to change the word that binary_sensor.maingaragedoor_vehicle reports from "on" or "off" to something else like "occupied" and "empty", how do I do this?

here's my card code:

type: grid
cards:
  - type: entity
    name: Main Hatch
    entity: binary_sensor.garage_door_sensor_window_door_is_open
    state_color: true
    icon: mdi:garage-alert-variant
  - type: entity
    entity: binary_sensor.maingaragedoor_vehicle
    name: Vehicle Status
  - type: button
    entity: cover.maingaragedoor
    name: Hatch Control
    icon: mdi:garage-variant

The door sensor reports open/closed correctly, the OpenGarage distance sensor is feeding the maingaragedoor_vehicle status, and cover.maingaragedoor is the button to trigger the open/close cycle via the OpenGarage unit.

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml

Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

change it to be a occupenacy sensor

then will be "detected" and "clear"
