I would like to know a similar board like ESP8266 that has bluetooth connectivity instead of wifi. Even if it has just two GPIO pins that's ok.

Thanks,
Funny.

HM-10 modules based on CC2540/41 are quite popular bluetooth (BLE - data) modules. It can be programmed natively in C and have bunch of GPIO's but Ti compiler is very expensive. They do support AT command set, so work fine with Arduino as slave board.
