Notify which condition in my automation was used (Doors open)

Configuration
1

Hi,

i’ve got an automation which sends me a notification whenever a door is still open. On the “conditions” if a have a list of contact sensors i check with the “OR” condition.

Now i want to send a notification with the name of the door that is still open. But i cannot get my head around it on what to check for. And i cannot see it from the trace of the automation as well.

The Automation looks as follows:

id: 'xxx'
alias: 'Security: There are doors still open'
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - alarm_control_panel.alarm
    to: arming
    from: disarmed
condition:
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - type: is_open
        condition: device
        device_id: xxx
        entity_id: binary_sensor.front_door
        domain: binary_sensor
      - type: is_open
        condition: device
        device_id: xxx
        entity_id: binary_sensor.back_door
        domain: binary_sensor
action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_xxx
    data:
      title: Security
      message: Doors are still open {{ name of the door/s }}
mode: single

Thanks for your advice.
