Description
Broadlink devices use FastCon connections to create a mesh WiFi where they connect to each other instead of to the router/AP.
When the following code is executed
import broadlink for dev in broadlink.xdiscover(): print(dev)
the result is only the devices that are connected to the router. The devices that are meshed do not show.
It must be possible to "look through" as both the Broasdlink phone App and Alexa can control all devices.
I've reviewed the FastCon SDK but it is beyond me on how this is possible - does not look easy.

The interim solution is to put all devices into a network segment that does not have access to the internet. That forces them all to connect to the router (don't ask me why). The con with this is that Alex can not access the devices but the phone App can.
