Temperature Management via API#793

I’d like to request an API feature for printer temperature control during active prints.

Right now, as far as I can see, the public API lets us read printer temperatures, but it does not provide a documented way to change the nozzle target temperature while a print is running. This would be very useful for us, especially during summer, when ambient temperatures in the workshop get much higher and we sometimes need to reduce nozzle temperature on the fly to keep prints stable.

What I’m looking for is something like:

• set nozzle target temperature through the API
• ideally while the printer is already printing
• optionally bed temperature control as well

For example, being able to automate a rule such as:

• if a printer is printing
• and the nozzle target is above 210°C
• then lower it to 210°C

This would help a lot with seasonal adjustments and would avoid having to do these changes manually from the UI.

Would it be possible to expose this in the public API?

Thanks.
