Great idea, you can start by this helpful knowledge base article that guides you wring and commissioning: Commissioning RevPi MIO
And have a look at this video tutorial where we connect a button to a DIO Module - just adapt the steps according to your MIO Module. Tutorial 12 – Digital IO Modules application example

This is helpful. I need additional help with understanding wiring.
# toggle RevPi MIO digital output 1
import revpimodio2
import time
rpi = revimodio2.RevPiModIO(autorefresh=True)
OutputValue=True
while True
rpi.io.DigitalOutput_1.value=OutputValue
time.sleep(0.5)
OutputValue = not OutputValue

Hi curious-eng, sorry I forgot to answer your question as I did not have a button around but a LED.
So, to sum it up, you can connect a button by wiring it the way you did with digital input 1.
Open PiCtory and configure the variable of the MIO module "IO_Mode_1" as digital input.
Then save the PiCtory configuration.
