Has anyone used an Arduino to message to a Raspberry Pi over WiFi to send out notification emails?
Thanks!
Why would you want to do this.
Why not get the Arduino to send the email directly. The STMP protocol isn't that hard to program, to send a simple email.
If I was ok with unencrypted outside communication that would be fine, but Arduino can't handle TLS, so I need something to handle it.
Hm...WiFi. Gives me the idea of short range...
How about...nrf2401 radio transceivers? The're about one euro each on ebay - cheap as chips, 500metre range, secure if you want, and loads of tutorials for both Pi and arduino
I haven't had time to fire mine up yet, but they'll be a part of my PiLab project (oululife.dnsdynamic.com --> PILAB)

Thanks for the idea, I may have to go that route.

The one euro ones will be unamplified and will have a range nearer to 5m than 500m. The amplified units cost more (but are still relatively inexpensive) but are a bit harder to use since they require external power.
