HI Saurabh, very interesting! There's no support for a similar feature yet. I started to build a prototype called "connectors" which allows to connect to devices via SSH and run commands: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/openwisp/biDfOmZoJBs/x55AGhlhAgAJ Although I'm not 100% sure this is the same strategy you want to employ. Keep in mind some people would consider adding such a feature a potentially insecure feature and we have to take extra care.
Feel free to keep us updated with your work, I'm sure more people is interested in this.
