# Wiring

**QMC5883L**: 3v or 5v, GND, D1 (SCL), D2 (SDA)  

**Reed Switch**: GND, D7  

**Relay**: D8 (you can modify the pin # on V2, or physically cut D1 pin and add bodge wire)  

**Voltage Divider**: GND (if not shared ground), A0  

Voltage divider and reed switch terminals were connected to a shared proto board

Don't forget to connect the external wifi antenna if needed!
