[Feature]: Run multiple copies of Matterbridge #114

What is actually missing?

Can the Matterbridge add-on be set up to allow multiple running copies? I'd like to be able to have some more granular control of what is bridged. For example, a "main" bridge that might be paired to Apple and Google Home with all lights. Then another bridge that has some additional devices, but maybe I want them only on Apple and Alexa.

I think this would also be useful for load balancing. I've found that if I have a large number of bridged devices (I tried with about 75+), responsiveness really slows down. If the load can be divided over multiple bridges with, say 25 devices each, this might help for load balancing.

In Homebridge, you can set up child bridges to accomplish this. Basically, I'm hoping there is a way to replicate that kind of functionality.
