Use I2C GPIO Expanders such MCP23017 or PCF8574, or use ESP-12 modules instead of ESP-01.

Thank you very much.
1- do you have a schema circuit for this?
2- is -12 is programmed the same way as -01? i'm using Arduino IDE

Yes, ESP-12 and ESP-01 are programmed the same way with Arduino IDE, the only thing is the number of GPIOs.
For I2C bus schematic, it only requires to have PullUps on 2 GPIOs and attach the MCP23017 on this bus.
Since GPIO2/GPIO0 have already PullUps for boot process, they are perfect to be used as I2C bus.
