Dynamic automation

Hello,
I have an automation to remind me to close my window. At the moment I have a switch and a timer, which I turn on and after some minutes the app is sending me a notification to close my window.
Now I have ordered some window contacts and I want to make this automation dynamic. Lets say I have multiple window contacts. And if one changes their states the app should send me a notification with the window friendly name or something like that.

I think the scenario above is inly working for one contact. So I thought about something like “threading” because if a second contact would trigger the automation the timer would reset, i think.

Do someone has a clue how to do this?

This is my config, I have placed an yaml file under packages:

# Timer for open windows (900 sec = 15 min)
timer:
  window_open:
    name: Time remaining (Window)
    duration: 900
    
# Switch for open window
switch:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Window open"
    state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/config/open_window"
    command_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/config/open_window"
    payload_on: "true"
    payload_off: "false"

automation:
  # Automation to start timer when window is open
  - id: window_open
    alias: Window open
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: switch.window_open
      to: "on"
    action:
      service: timer.start
      entity_id: timer.window_open
  # Automation to stop timer when timer finished
  - id: close_window_nofitication
    alias: Notification for open window
    trigger:
      - platform: event
        event_type: timer.finished
        event_data:
          entity_id: timer.window_open
    action:
      - service: timer.cancel
        data:
          entity_id: timer.window_open
      - service: switch.turn_off
        entity_id: switch.window_open
      - service: notify.notify
        data:
          message: "Fenster schliessen"
          title: "Fenster schliessen"
