- Sat Aug 15, 2015 11:07 pm #26113 Each LED is connected to two GPIO, one GPIO is for Output and the other is for Status. You can use 1 GPIO every LED but due to unstable internet connection in some areas there is no guarantee that it executes the command. The purpose of the Status pin is to sends back the actual status to the website and to make sure the command is executed well.
