Do you mean this? https://www.amazon.com/CANADUINO-WEMOS-Minikit-240MHz-Blueto... because it has a lot more than 4 accessible pins.

Nope, I mean this: https://www.amazon.com/MakerFocus-Wireless-Transceiver-DC3-0...

8 pins, half of those gnd, vin, reset, and something else. 4 are usable I think.

That's an ESP-01. It has 4 GPIO with some restrictions but you are able to simultaneously run an I2C bus and Serial bus giving you tremendous flexibility.

You can get those in bulk for less than a dollar each and are my most used microcontroller. They're so easy to deploy and ear easily powered of USB wall warts with a regulator.
