Summary:

GPIO0/GPIO2/GPIO15 pins are used to determine in which mode ESP8266 will boot, so avoid using them as persistant pulling Input source.

A button with normally open to Ground with internal pullup is OK

A button with normally closed to VDD/GND is likely NOT OK (Only OK when it fits the mode for booting, however will possibly make reprogramming impossible)

Sensor module which will have a High/Low to the chip is NOT OK (sometime will make it try to go into program mode)

In the generic NodeMCU, the PIN identifiers are: D3,D4 and D8

Use them as output is the best practise

GPIO2/GPIO16 also connected with Drain mode LED( Low level light up), identifiers are D4 and D0
