Delay standby temperature at toolchange?

Hello!

I run a toolchanger with only different colors of PLA right now.
For a small object the tool can be in action for just a couple of seconds for maybe a couple of layers and then change back to the other one and in between maybe not used for a 10 minutes.

Is there a way to delay putting the tool in Standby temperature for like 15 seconds from it being deactivated?

Using e3d Revo betas and heat up times are fast but so are the cooldown times.

I was thinking of using global variables and daemon.g but it might be overcomplicating things.

If I understood it right, the multi-gcode streaming feature has the goal to extend look-ahead and allow better temp control for toolchangers. (mainly switching the heaters ON, before toolchange is due)
I guess, this would also help you with your problem?

Unfortunately it'll be RRF3.5 until we see this feature.
