Wireless Activated Relay

Hi,

I have two machines, machine #1 and machine #2. I would like to coordinate these machines so that when machine #1 completes a particular task, it will signal machine #2 to begin a related task. If I was able to run wires between these two machines, I could easily do what I want with a relay. Machine #1 would energize the relay coil, and I would use the relay contact(s) to initiate the action I want on Machine #2. The only problem is, the location of these machines makes it very difficult for me to run these wires.

These two machines are in locations where the same wifi network is available. This makes me wonder if there is any device that would work just like a relay, but that I could activate wirelessly. If anyone has every seen anything like this and could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Paul
