No experience with E Imp. But for Wifi module IOT, try esp8266 modules. They have gained a lot of momentum lately. I have like 10 of them as they are $3 for a basic module, $10/$12 NodeMCU version. Pretty powerful modules in terms of wifi connectivity with IO. But limited in memory. I program it using a version Of NodeLua. But now there is an arduino IDE option available. Quick note in brief but a quick search of Esp8266 will get you all the possibilities. Love them as they are cheaper and smaller than arduino with Wifi
