As far as I know, you can't provide a PIN by command line.

You can provide passphrase from file for symmetric encryption, though.

Instead, you can unlock your smartcard beforehand, interactively.

$ gpg-connect-agent "SCD CHECKPIN D276000124010200F517000000010000" /bye
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Please change this to your Application ID.  gpg --card-status shows it.

BTW, I got a report that RSA-4096 decryption doesn't work well on
Nitrokey Pro.  If you are using RSA-4096 decryption on Nitrokey Pro
successfully, please let us know.
