Hi!

I have bought a Geberit shower toilet/bidet with a motion sensor but it's aimed at the front while the toilet is installed sideways. So I've opened the thing up and I can take out the motion sensor, but the cable it's connected to is too short to do anything with. So I'm looking to buy/make an extension cable, but I have no idea on how to find it. So I took pics of the connector and I'm hoping you can help me find the type of connector (and if someone has a buy link: even better!). Thanks!

edit: https://www.jst.com/products/insulation-displacement-connectors-wire-to-board-type/vr-connector/ this looks like the socket, but the pitch seems wrong?

That sounds... Difficult :p I really don't want to slice anything to void warranty and such. I've been spending a lot of time trying to look for some sort of extension cord or connectors so I can make my own, but I was wondering.. can I just use this? https://www.amazon.nl/Elegoo-Kleuren-Breadboard-Lintkabels-Arduino/dp/B01EV70C78/ Would be so much easier ๐Ÿค”

Lots of people use them for something similar. Obviously, the situation changes once the lines are power lines and not signal lines. If you can stabilise the result and add strain relief.
