Triggered by which user?

Configuration

I would like to be notified when someone boosted the heating or when the heating is fired due to demand. This will then allow me to decrease the temperature if I feel it’s not needed. (I’m the one paying the bill’s)

I have the notify and ability to decrease the temperature if fired all working perfectly well from my iPhone.

The only issue I’am struggling with is knowing which user boosted the heating whether that be a user or due to demand, but I don’t want a notification if it was me. (user_id: 33e345d6591f46668b1fg4c1232dcb70)

I’ve tried automations and scripts to no avail.

The ‘Boost Heating’ on the UI is an input.button, Im using Climate and this triggers a Tasmota Sonoff relay.

The automation that senses the heating on and triggers the script:

Heating on Monitor 
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - climate.home
    attribute: hvac_action
    from: idle
    to: heating
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: notify.mobile_app_trev_s_iphone
    data:
      title: Automation User
      message: |
        This: {{ this.context.user_id }}
        From state: {{ trigger.from_state.context.user_id }}
        To state: {{ trigger.to_state.context.user_id }}
  - action: script.turn_on
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: script.heating_boost_notify_trevor
mode: single```

The script is here:

Heating on Notify 
description: Sends notify when increasing in heating
sequence:
  - condition: "{{ context.user_id != '33e345d6591f46668b1fg4c1232dcb70' }}"
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 1
      seconds: 0
  - action: notify.mobile_app_trev_s_iphone
    data:
      title: Heating on
      message: >-
        {{ states("sensor.l_temperature") | round(1) }}°C, set for {{
        states("sensor.target_temperature") | round(1) }}°C User id: {{
        context.user_id }}
      data:
        actions:
          - action: heating_decrease
            title: Decrease temp?
  - wait_for_trigger:
      - event_type: ios.notification_action_fired
        event_data:
          actionName: heating_decrease
        trigger: event
    timeout:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 1
      seconds: 0
      milliseconds: 0
    continue_on_timeout: false
  - target:
      entity_id: switch.heating_down
    data: {}
    action: switch.turn_on
mode: single```

I’ve experimented in many ways with the context.user_id hence the notify in the automation, only there to help me try and understand what’s going on.

But I’m now lost on how to achieve this after going round and round. Any ideas or a different approach would be much appreciated.

I use this code snipped to insert the user name into my messages - not really short and it could probably be done with looking up a match in a list, but I don’t know how to do that and this works fine for me:

          {% if trigger.to_state.context.user_id == 'a2971f3c9d644613a5216112345' %} 
            Him
          {% elif trigger.to_state.context.user_id == '1e73d45040eb47a4a5e101e00c78910' %} 
            Dashboard
          {% elif trigger.to_state.context.user_id == 'dc6d131f38df42ce8eacacc98765420' %} 
            Her
          {% else %}
            Somebody Else
          {% endif %}
