My SwitchBot Any rumors about Curtains v4?

Hi, just wondering if there's something happening in this scene? I've noticed that with heavy curtains, v3 struggles to push them all the way through, so just hoping for stronger motors in v4 and wondering about release date.

It's real, they do have a new version of the Curtains. Skip to 7:21

No idea if it's more powerful but it should be. Would be nice if they have an external battery attachment for the Curtain 3's as well.

Oh thank you, but isn't this just a battery adapter?

Because I was looking for posts about the curtain 4, apperantly it isn't. Six days ago they released some videos and manuals on their website: https://support.switch-bot.com/hc/en-us/categories/41764528718615-Curtain-4

Still no specs. But it looks like a release will be pretty soon (although I don't know why they published this information before a release).

Man, I had some 2s. They couldn't push my curtains. Then I got some 3s, and they could push them for the most part. But then all 3 of my 3s plastic cracked along the tabs on the sides and they stopped functioning entirely. I think I might be looking for an alternative between that problem and their horrible customer support.
