What is the trigger.entity_id when using platform: time, at:

As the subject says. It looks to me like it isn’t the input_datetime. In fact unless I am doing something wrong my test persistent notification tells me there is no trigger.entity_id at all.

In which case is there another way to know what causes the automation to be triggered?

The code below doesn’t get past the condition: when the time now is the same as either input_datetime.time

    trigger:
      - platform: time
        at: input_datetime.time_1

      - platform: time
        at: input_datetime.time_2

      - platform: state
        entity_id: input_boolean.my_boolean
        to: 'on'

      - condition: template
        value_template: >
          {% if trigger.entity_id == 'input_datetime.time_1' %}
            True
          {% elif trigger.entity_id == 'input_datetime.time2' %}
            True
          {% elif trigger.entity_id == 'input_boolean.my_boolean' %}
            True
          {% else %}
            False
          {% endif %}

The datetimes are defined as time only:

input_datetime:
  time_1:
    has_date: false
    has_time: true
