Hi all. I've been running my heatermeter setup for several years now. I got a RotoDamper from Ralph probably 2 or 3 years go. Things were going great until a few weeks ago. I noticed the vent door wasn't opening properly anymore. Sometimes it would open a little, sometimes it wouldn't move at all, other times it moved but all over the place. I noticed my CAT5 cable I was using had some cracks in it, so I replaced them hoping for a fix and it seemed better at first. But then it came back.
It kind of seems like maybe I'm having a power problem. If I twist my power cable plug around in the jack on the heatermeter I can sometimes hear the fan spin up faster or slower.
What should I do to track this problem down? Should I just get a new power cord? This one is a UL listed power supply from an old portable hard drive. I can probably find another in my supplies, so maybe that should be my first try. Otherwise, can I measure voltages somewhere? Or should I just assume a bad servo in my RD3? I do leave that thing attached my my Green Egg all the time.
Any help is appreciated.
