How can I check who’s mobile scanned a tag ?
take a look at this doc:
it has this example which shows you the user_id is in the trigger context.
automation 4:
trigger:
# When an NFC tag is scanned by Home Assistant...
- platform: event
event_type: tag_scanned
# ...By certain people
context:
user_id:
- 06cbf6deafc54cf0b2ffa49552a396ba
- 2df8a2a6e0be4d5d962aad2d39ed4c9c
and if you want to use the user in the actions, you’d use the this object, which is a state object:
putting those together you have access to {{ this.context.user_id }}

thanks, this works. A whole other solution as what I had in mind, but I can follow.
What I don’t understand…
now I check if person 1 scans a tag. if that tag is xxx then do this
but I want to use if/else structure.if person1 scans tagxxx then do…, else if person2 scans tagxxx then do …
how do I achieve that ?
sure. use condition (‘choose’ in the ui)
and have the template be {{ this.context.user_id == xxxxxxxxxx }
do this for each user that you want to do different actions on.
action:
- choose:
- conditions:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ this.context.user_id == 'put_the_user_id_of_person1' }}"
sequence:
- service: notify.notify_person1
- conditions:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ this.context.user_id == 'put_the_user_id_of_person2' }}"
sequence:
- service: notify.notify_person2

It seems that I am not smart enough to get the programming by myself. I am thinking totally different, and not the good way 
when someone gives me the solution I always think “oh yea, that was easy”. I always put conditions or actions in a different way. strange
thanks anyway
choose:
- conditions:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ trigger.context.user_id == '63ae2011ba54413ea0df17a78f6b0f7a' }}"
sequence:
- service: notify.mobile_app_gsm_X
data:
title: test
message: X heeft de tag in ruimte 1 gescanned
are you sure the code trigger.context.user_id is OK ? because it is not working, the condition does not get true
shoot, I didn’t listen to my earlier self…(See my post way above… or even in the same post just before the code. Sheesh). try this.context.user_id
Notify name:
service: notify.notify
data:
title: NFC TAG
message: >-
Test NFC attivato da {% set person = states.person|selectattr('attributes.user_id','eq',trigger.event.context.user_id)|first%}{{ person.attributes.friendly_name }}
data:
ttl: 0
priority: high
actions:
- action: CLOSE

If Davide pass:
condition: template
value_template: >-
{% set person = states.person|selectattr('attributes.user_id','eq',trigger.event.context.user_id)|first%}
{{ 'Davide' in person.attributes.friendly_name }}
enabled: true
Device name:
{% set dev_name = expand(device_entities(trigger.event.data.device_id)) |
selectattr('domain', 'eq', 'device_tracker') | map(attribute='name') | join
%} Test NFC - device: {{ dev_name }}
that does not work for me either. same result. It does not choose
why do you have your condition? It defeats the purpose by restricting to only one person… and they person isn’t the one in the choose… so it will never work…

the condition is to know what tag is scanned…
trigger:
- platform: tag
tag_id: " Tag id "
Why into condition?
In fact, that is not my problem. That is working.
The problem is the choose …
It’s not clear what you want.
user is 63ae2011ba54413ea0df17a78f6b0f7a, why isn’t it a normal name?
what is the difficulty?
