Claim 0:
1. An actuator in an HVAC system configured to modify an environmental condition of a building, the actuator comprising:
a motor;
a drive device driven by the motor and coupled to an HVAC component for driving the HVAC component between multiple positions; and
a processing circuit coupled to the motor and configured to:
transmit control signals to operate the motor to drive the HVAC component between a first position and a second position;
monitor temperature data received from one or more temperature sensors; and
modify 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 temperature data is at least one of unexpectedly positive or unexpectedly negative.
