Mine has basic Tektro HDC-300 , which were easy enough to adapt with the sensor and magnet:

I dismantle the wuxing brake lever to retrieve the wired plunger/sensor unit with end connector, using 2 part epoxy I glue the sensor on to the brake body and then use an ali stop on the lever to activate the plunger.
