Context user_id ist not propagated when an automation is triggered by a MobileApp event. #90669

Xyaren · 2023-04-02T12:26:11Z

The problem

The following Situatuation:

I have:

An Android Phone using the latest Homeassistant Android App
A Helper boolean (H1)
An autoamtion: (A1)
- Trigger:
  - (Manual Run) (T0)
  - Notification Action Event for MY_ACTION (T1)
  - Notification Dismiss Event (T2)
When triggered by T1/T2 toggle H1 by service call, otherwise create notification

Sequence of operation:

Create Helper H1
Create Automation A1
Run Automation A1 to create a notification on the device.
Press the Notification Action
Automation runs through Trigger T1 and toggles H1

I would expect, that the helper logbook shows, that the helper was toggled by the user, that performed the action.
Unfortunately that is not the case.
(Note that the user is not mentioned in the logbook entry)

When I toggle the helper manually I can see my Username attached to the logbook entry:

In the attached event log you can see, that the user_id is present in the mobile_app_notification_action event but not propagated to the automation call.

Expectation

My expectation would be, that if i.e. a light is turned on by an automation, that is triggered by an event, caused by a user, this user will appear in the corresponding logbook entry.

Ideally there would be an indication, of the responsible user and automation that contributed to the status change.

This line could be related to the issue:

core/homeassistant/components/automation/__init__.py

Line 476 in 4a4d320

trigger_context = Context(parent_id=parent_id)

This behaviour could be intentional, in that case, the logbook UI could be extended to resolve the parent context(s?) and corresponding user_id.

I could also imagine that this should be configurable on a per-trigger basis or cofigurable per automation.
