So, the description for the Wemos D1 says it has 11 I/O's... Does this mean it can control 11 different devices, such as LED strips? Thanks!

There's some interesting information there, especially the Circuit Designer itself. I'm assuming that the "GPIO" connections are the I/Os I am looking for... It's frustrating trying to get information on the function of the chip.

 

You can't use all 11 any way you want watch these.

The normal boot of the ESP8266 12e is via SPI.
D0, GPIO16 Can be used for any function without restriction.
D3, GPIO 0 During boot it should be HIGH, after boot finish can be used without restrictions.
D4, GPIO 2 During boot it should be HIGH, after boot finish can be used without restrictions.
D8, GPIO15 During boot it should be in LOW, after boot finish can be used without restrictions.

The rest you can use without problems
