Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I use a 100W incandescent light bulb to act both as a light for video and for heating the enclosure. The heating works too well (up to 65c in the box) so I set it up with my temp sensor as a thermostat, turning the bulb on and off. Now when I peek in with video, which I do often, I have a random chance of having light.

Describe the solution you'd like

A set of buttons in the navbar would fix the problem by manually turning the bulb on or off to temporarily override the thermostat. They could optionally have a timeout to go back to the thermostat action.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could put in a real heater and buy another SSR but I really like my simple bulb solution. It is cheap and effective. Right now I'm going into the tab and turning the temp up to get the light on. But I have to do this before and after every time I peek in.

P.S. I am going to write an octoprint plugin for work soon. If no one else needs this I could push some code to implement the feature. It would be educational.
