I’m pretty concerned about the lack of documentation on this topic….
My current wiring is at

the z probe detects metal (light gets brighter) but in pronterface when I type M119 I get “Probe:0” even if the light is bright
HELP!!

It’s wired wrong. The general wiring is like this chart. There may be some nuances depending on your sensor (what voltage rating and if it’s open collector or (?)). Not sure what you’re trying to do with the resistors, drop the voltage down?
Sensor -- Smoothie
Blue = Ground -- Blue
Black = Vcc -- Red
Brown = Output -- Green
Did you ever figure this out? I have the probe working in the sense that the red light comes on when it senses the bed but smoothie does not recognize that it is getting a signal I think.
I have wired it up with the 10k and 15k resistors and verified that it is getting 3.3v and not the full 12v back to the board.
Here is how I have it wired:

Sensor on the left and power supply (12v) and SB on the right. Dotted lines represent the Zmin plug on the board with the color designations coming from the 3D printer guide for endstops.
Here is my config:
