Multiple network to the same SSID with d-bus api

Hello,

In my application I would like to connect to a predefined AP 1
(BSSID+SSID) or select any AP 2 with the same SSID in case default AP 1
disappears or I cannot connect to it. I believe that could be achieved
by the following config:

network={
  ssid="theSameSSID"
  bssid=00:11:22:33:44:55
  psk="theSamePSK"
  priority=1
}

network={
  ssid="theSameSSID"
  psk="theSamePSK"
  priority=0
}

Could I use wpa_supplicant d-bus API to achieve above functionality?

I think I could achieve above functionality creating two instances of
network fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface.AddNetwork. Network1 would
contain SSID, BSSID, priority=1 while Network2 would
contain SSID, priority=0. Next I would call
fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface.SelectNetwork on Network1. Does my
plan make any sense? Should wpa_supplicant connect to Network2
automatically if there is no AP1? My initial test showed that
wpa_supplicant do not connect to AP2 in case I turn off AP1, but I
need to check that more deeply.

Thanks in advance for your answer.
BR,
Radek
