RSSI reported from nodes inconsistent. Found no way to get the RSSI from the perspective of the HUB.

Hi, I have 5 nodes (esp01), they usually are organized as below:
  • MeshHUB ESP32
    • LAB03
      • LAB04
        • LAB02
      • LAB05
But when I ask the esp01 for their RSSI in order to access how good are the connections I get:  LAB02 -78 dBm, LAB03 31 dBm, LAB04-83 dBm, LAB05 -68 dBm
This is a test setup.
But when the HUB does its scan it prints:
CONNECTION: found : SmartMesh, -62dBm
CONNECTION: found : SmartMesh, -71dBm
CONNECTION: found : SmartMesh, -86dBm
CONNECTION: found : SmartMesh, -91dBm

The 31 dBm is an odity and it is not fix on LAB03, sometimes it is someone else!
Is there anyway I can capture the RSSI readings as seem from the HUB?
They look a lot more reliable than readings from the nodes.

Thanks
