How would I configure these other GPIO's for use in the easyiot cloud?

You need to add code in your esp8266 to manage a new topic, per example topic1 = relay1, topic 2 = relay2
And in easyiot you declare 2 différents button one with topic1 and the other with topic2

Send topic1 = "ON" per example from easyiot and in your code when you see "topic1", read the "ON" and like this you know you need to turn ON the relay1 who is linked to topic1 (in your esp8266) and the same for the topic2

Ok, thanks!
Please bear with me...I am still trying to figure this stuff out.
How does it assign a GPIO? What I am asking is, how does it trigger GPIO2, 3, 4, etc...how do I assign a particular GPIO to a switch. Basically "switch 2" would trigger GPIO2 and so on.

Looking back at the code and trying to figure out where to add this new topic is very confusing for me and I think it is over my head.

you have only one input to read datas from MQTT sender and after in your code you can read it and put something like "
if receivedTopic = topic1 then Relay1 = ON/OFF
else if receivedTopic = topic2 then Relay2 = ON/OFF

I use with C++ and arduino IDE code, I don't know in lua

Thanks for your help.
I am using the exact code posted in the example, but I have no idea where to add that section of code.
