Get Sensor Name When Using Group as Trigger

@toot4fun wrote:

Is it possible to get the (friendly) name for a sensor that triggers a condition when using groups in the entity_id? As you can see below, I’m using group.all_doors so that I don’t have to make code changes if I add sensors, but in my messaging, I’d like to be able to say that a particular sensor (Front Door, for example) is the door that actually triggered the automation.

automations.yaml

- id: automation.alarm_entry_doors_always
  alias: Alarm - Entry Doors - Always
  description: Triggers when alarm is armed and an entry door is opened any time.
  trigger:
  - entity_id: group.all_doors
    from: 'off'
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: script.turn_on
    entity_id: script.alarm_triggered
    data:
      variables:
        title: Home Alarm
        automation_name: automation.alarm_entry_doors_always
        automation_friendly_name: Alarm - Entry Doors - Always
        alarm_delay_seconds: 30
        triggered_by: [this is where I'd like to get "Front Door" or "Sliding Door" and not just the name of the group of doors that I have created]
