Claim 10:
11. A method for operating an actuator in an HVAC system, the method comprising:
transmitting, by a processing circuit of the actuator, control signals to operate a motor coupled to a drive device configured to drive an HVAC component between a first position and a second position, wherein the actuator, including the motor, drive device, and processing circuit, is configured to be physically coupled to the HVAC component via the drive device;
monitoring, by the processing circuit, temperature data received from one or more temperature sensors; and
modifying, by the processing circuit, a control logic function of the actuator for at least one of the motor or the drive device in response to the monitored temperature data, wherein modifying the control logic function comprises modulating the actuator using a different control logic function in response to a determination that the temperature data is at least one of unexpectedly positive or unexpectedly negative.
