Automation condtion condition:state using 'match: any' error

I’m trying to simplify my home presence detection setup, and the logs are showing an error when I attempt the following configuration.

input_boolean:
  at_home:
    name: If either Bob or Alice is at Home, set to on

automation:
  - id: presence_at_home
    alias: 'Someone Arrived at empty Home'
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id:
          - person.alice
          - person.bob
        to: 'Home'
    condition:
      condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.at_home
      state: 'off'
    action:
      - service: input_boolean.turn_on
        entity_id: input_boolean.at_home

  - id: presence_not_home
    alias: 'Last person left occupied Home'
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id:
          - person.alice
          - person.bob
        to: 'Away'
    condition:
      and:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: input_boolean.at_home
          state: 'on'
        - not:
            - condition: state
              entity_id:
                - person.alice
                - person.bob
              match: any <========== This is the problem line
              state: 'Home'
    action:
      - service: input_boolean.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.at_home

Note, I KNOW there are many alternate ways of doing this (groups, for example), but the above code is a GREATLY simplified version of what I’m trying to do (I have multiple locations, and multiple states over and above ‘Home’ and ‘Away’, but the above snippet is a simplification to show the issue).

From reading the docs at Conditions - Home Assistant, I would think match: any would be possible, but when I add it, I get the following error:

Invalid config for [automation]: [match] is an invalid option for [automation]. Check: automation->match. (See ?, line ?).

Note, no line #, but since I only use match in the one location, it has to be that. If i remove the match line, I get a different error, but syntactically, everything looks correct.

If I use the alternate declaration format, I get a similar error:

    condition:
      condition: and
      conditions:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: input_boolean.at_home
          state: 'on'
        - condition: not
          conditions:
            - condition: state
              entity_id:
                - person.alice
                - person.bob
-->           match: any
              state: 'Home'

Any help is greatly appreciated!
