You can use something similar to what the Ultimaker 3 already has in it's tool change script. Tool Change Idle Temperatures viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6684
That's a workaround, too. It's good to have workarounds, but in many cases, the scripts are complicated to handle and prone to errors. Considering how crucial this standby feature is in dual material printing and the fact that this feature has been requested years ago, it's scandalous that Simplify still doesn't have it.
The script from the Ultimaker 3 toolchange section should be compatible with most all dual extrusion machines (MakerBot clones excluded)
It can be changed to use placeholder variables and then you won't ever have to update the script you can simply edit the standby temperatures in the Temperature Controller Tab of the advanced settings. Yes, it's still a workaround. But it's far from complicated. You basically copy and paste and it's set it and forget.
So, are you saying that copying the UM3 toolchange script will add a new item ("idle temp") to Temperature Controller Tab?
