Feature request - New primitive Local.Publish() for WiFi Devices

Yes, this would be a very valuable capability. I had made a question regarding basically the same functionality here:

2 zone mesh network connected via wifi?

Thanks for the replies, from what I can tell perhaps some UDP & mesh will do what I want - basically the use case is in a connected shipboard environment, but with a slow and somewhat unreliable internet connection via Satellite. A change of course can cause the internet to drop for anywhere between moments and hours. I’d like to set up an environment where local notification can occur between two distant zones, regardless of whether we are currently connected to the cloud or not. Any necessa…

However @ninjatill has explained it better, I think. One of my use cases would be better served by a photon network with a local publish, mesh not necessarily being crucial for me. But to be able to extend a mesh network into two locales not within mesh distance but within the same Wireless network would open up a lot of possibilities!
