Timer entity name in automation

Hi guys all I need to complete my heating boost automations is the name of the timer that has just finished. So 2 questions if I may.

1. how do I get the name of it (automation to follow)
2. are the properties of these objects documented anywhere so I dont have to keep asking?

the string I am trying to create is input_boolean.boost_[room name]_heating and the room name will come from the time just finished.

Thanks loads
