Evening all,
I've put the code and some instructions on github here:

I hope the attached file 'curtains problem avforums.zip' will be useful. I have been battling with Silent Gliss curtain tracks for 20 years and this is my third re-design. Many thanks to AngarMgmt for the 5010 motor connections.
I now have a new 5100 track - I find a different wiring works for me:
Brown-Yellow Open
Red-Yellow Stop
Green Yellow Close
(but that just may be because of a Cable with different colours)
Using a Torx T10 bit I removed the top metal plate and the plastic mouding below -another three screws and you can pull the motor part out.
The T-shaped circuit board (another two machine screws) has a convienient 5V supply ontwoof the connections on the socket. (nearest the centre of the board).
I brought this out with a couple of fine insulated wires (passed through a couple of small holes in the plastic top, but be careful not to impeed the optical rotor) to power
a cheap 2 ch relay from Amazon such as:

A 4 ch oneshould give you the stop control too, if needed.
Has anyone managed to removed the bottom part of the motor unit?Mine would not budge!
Hi RonJW,
Do you have a photo of the 5v supply?
I take it you used this to power your 2 ch relay?
Your Amazon link is broken, but I guess you used something like this US $1.27 15% OFF|5V ESP8266 ESP 01 1 Channel WiFi Relay Module ESP 01S 2 Way Relay Module For IOT Smart Home remote control switch phone APP-in Integrated Circuits from Electronic Components & Supplies on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Groupwith the ESP-01 built in?
Why were you looking to move the bottom part of the motor unit?
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
