Node-Red-Matter-Bridge - Proper Setup?

@sammachin Thanks for starting up this project. This approach seems more in alignment with how I want to use matter nodes.

So I've successfully setup a bridge tied to a dimmable light node, setup a Google Home Project to validate it and have it installed in the Google Home App. But I'm not 100% sure I understand the right setup. In Google Home I see the controllable device and a bridge device.

Based on this article (What is a Matter Bridge? | Know-how | matter-smarthome) I was thinking that meant that I just had to tie other device nodes to that same Bridge in Node-Red. I added two more devices (so have two dimmable lamps and one on/off lamp) to that same validated bridge and they both also showed up in Google Home but then I saw that the two dimmable lamps are showing as "Not Running" in Node-Red and I was seeing this error in my bug reports "Error: Endpoint ID 4 exists twice".

I am able to capture output from one of the dimmable lamps and the "running" on/off lamp.

Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks.
