NE> Why bother? You can use a ESP8266 wifi development board and a RS232 to TTL

Several reasons.

I have a raspberry pi in my possession that a friend gave me.  I don't
possess an ESP8266.

The flexibility that running a full-blown Linux system on the rpi would
give me.  I could "dial in" to the rpi itself, which opens up additional
possibilities.
