If the Commotion Android app is connected properly and completely to a
mesh, the a general IP network is available between the devices. You can
program your apps as expected over any typical IP network.

The one caveat is that the Android NetworkManager / Connectivity checks
for wifi may not behave the same as you expect, since the mesh is
enabled at a layer below the usual Android APIs for now.

Good luck!
