Hi guys,
My heatermeter is up and running and registered successfully etc however I'm having a bit of trouble getting the blower to work.
If I'm reading the wiring guide right, I attach the black wire of the blower to the blue wire of a cat5 and the red wire of the blower to the light blue / blue white of the cat5. When I do this the blower doesn't seem to do anything.
Is it enough to simply wrap the ends of the wires around each other for the purposes of testing? I've tried a few times using different wires (including rj11 telephone one with only 2 wires in the middle) but with the same result.
My soldering on the build is a little amateur but the rest of it all seems to work ok.
Some pics:
NB: While debugging I had the ethernet for the RPI disconnected but I can't see this making any difference.
Am I missing something obvious? Should the blower actually be doing anything at this point? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
D
