The analog input of the nodeMCU is correct.
In the device settings chose "Analog input".

Please keep in mind that this sensor doos ot give a digital value like "xxx Lux".
It gives a voltage that is equivalent to the luminosity so you will have to use a formula
to "translate" the value into a lux value.
The more this sensor can not give "0" for "no light" due to technical reasons.
This can be compensated with the formula too.

For calibration see wiki: https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/inde ... d_Accuracy

Fur using formulas see wiki https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/inde ... asyFormula
