是否像本论坛建议的那样难以添加物联网？

我有超过50年的编程经验，40年的微型计算机，主要是汇编语言。我想把IOT WiFi加到一个简单的设备上，把数据和错误信息输出到一个手机上，以节省增加LCD显示的成本，并提供远程访问一个困难的位置。关于WiFi协议和整合似乎很吓人的论坛活动的基础上。这是我可以使用或我是正确的，学习曲线是非常陡峭的？成功地爬上陡峭的曲线，这是可靠的吗？输出数据是基本的ASCII字符串，是否有一个手机AP会显示它们，或者我也必须攀爬学习曲线吗？

    I have over 50 years programming experience, 40 years in microcomputers, mainly assembly language.
I would like to add IoT WIFI to a simple device to output data and error messages to a cell phone to save the cost of adding an LCD display and provide remote access to a difficult location.
I know very little about WIFI protocols and the integration appears rather daunting based on forum activity here.
IS THIS SOMETHING I COULD USE OR AM I CORRECT THAT THE LEARNING CURVE IS VERY STEEP?
HAVING SUCCEEDED IN CLIMBING THE STEEP CURVE IS THIS GOING TO BE RELIABLE?  
OUTPUT DATA IS ELEMENTARY ASCII STRINGS, IS THERE A CELLPHONE AP THAT WOULD DISPLAY THEM OR DO I HAVE TO CLIMB THAT LEARNING CURVE TOO?
