Raspberry PI Pico W motion and light sensor relay

At first I thought I would need to use a PI Pico to control a automatic light in my garage.  I started off by buying the following, but then I learned that just the RCWL-0516 Switch Module could do it all without the need for the PI Pico.

At CDS you can add a LDR (light-dependent resistor) to do motion detection during night only. For example, if you need to use this module for motion sensing light for outdoor, then LDR is a must. Without LDR light will glow in daytime also which is the waste of electricity.

Two outside pins are for GND (left below) and 5V (right below). I had to solder leads onto the pins. Note, 3 volts also works but less than half as bright.
