<p dir="auto">But the only wire schemas I can find are for the ESPHome or an Arduino, while I would like to wire it directly to the GPIO ports of my Raspberry Pi 4 that’s running Magic Mirror.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ve looked at the <a href="https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification</a> that uses a HC-SR501 PIR sensor, but I couldn’t work out how to make that work with an mmWave sensor. The PIR sensor uses a single wire to trigger the screen, while the mmWave sensor also uses a serial connection.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anybody have any suggestions how to get started? Of course I can just use the PIR Sensor instead, but I like to use the mmWave sensor because I can hide it in the frame.</p>

<p dir="auto">power  (pin 6)<br />
ground (pin5)<br />
signal (pin 4)</p>
<p dir="auto">so, power and ground should be easy, and picking an available gpio port should also be easy</p>
<p dir="auto">and if you want to.program change it’s behavior the you would connect pins 1 and 2</p>
