Hello everybody! I am starting my smart aquarium project with raspberry pi zero W and Reef-pi so I apologize first of all for the questions because I am very new.
I bought this water level sensor (the same one that appears in Ranjib Dey's tutorial):

I have connected the OUT to GPIO17 and checked with the raspberry pi command window that it detects it and works fine:

But how do I detect it now with Reef-pi? In all the tutorials I have seen it was connected directly from the connectors section by assigning the pin but now I see in the last 6.0 version of Reef-pi that I have to assign it to a driver:

But I test with some drivers but I don't know what driver select:

Could you help me please?
Thank you very much! I have just discovered this great community and I think it can enrich me a lot!

I solved the problem installing the Raspberry Pi OS (Legacy) Lite version. The Raspberry Pi OS Lite is not compatible with reef-pi (at least in my case).

Thanks!
