[Bug] Adding an AP creates an additional device "AiMesh None (None)"

Just to add that if I add the same AP as an AiMesh Node, the additional device "AiMesh None (None)" doesn't get created and neither does the additional sensor "AiMesh None (None)".

It looks like the issue happens only with older devices which don't have AiMesh support.
In this case the device causing the issue is an RT-AC87U on 384.13_10 or 3.0.0.4_382_52545-ga0245cc.

Hello. I am sorry for the delay in solving your issue. Unfortunately, I haven't had any free time lately. I will try to solve it as soon as I get such an opportunity. Sorry again for the inconvenience

From the known bugs, it looks like the AP support should be redone. I will check whether it requires a complete change of the library/integration logic or can be fixed in parts (which might be faster)

Nothing to be sorry about. Thanks a lot for your great work on this integration. 😊
