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 on  two  of 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 one  should 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 Group  with the ESP-01 built in?

Why were you looking to move the bottom part of the motor unit?

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
