The blend door actuator goes through a learning process when power is lost and then restored, at least for the computer-controlled (set the temperature type) HVAC system. I forget the details but I do remember learning this when I had to replace my blend door actuator.

For how long does this opening and closing go on?

It hasn't stopped for 2 days, constantly going from hot and cold

Best I can suggest is investigating online how the learning is done be the blend door actuator after one is installed. On my computer-controlled one, I think it would cycle back and forth a couple times and then stop.
