One way to work around this (at least for the cool down, I haven't tried to create a sequence queue for warm up) is to create a capture sequence queue that steps down through the temperatures and then does a capture at that temperature. So, for going from 20C to -10C I have a saved capture sequence queue with 7 individual sequences with a 5 minute single capture in each. First is a capture at 20C with force temperature selection at 20C. Then one at 15C etc.. down to -10C last capture only needs to be short like 1 sec. I just saved the sequence queue to a file and load it at the start of a session an reuse it. You can delete off the front or back of the queue if you want to change the range, say go 15C to -5C instead.

This way the camera is stepped down 5 degrees at a time and sits at each temperature for 5 minutes taking an image. I tag the images with a file name like 'Cool-down' so I can delete them later.
