How can I use variable names in automation for an entity_id?

Hi all,

I would like to use a trigger variable as an entity id. I have following entities:
kamera_einfahrt_bewegung, kamera_tuerklingel_person and kamera_garten_personen

When trying to use entity_id: input_boolean.kamera_{{ trigger.id }}, while trigger_id I get the following error message when trying to save my automation:

Message malformed: Entity input_boolean.kamera_{{ trigger.id }} is neither a valid entity ID nor a valid UUID for dictionary value @ data['conditions'][0]['entity_id']

Here is the full code of my automation. Any ideas, how I
