Currently there is a single hardlimit option when using the temperature sensor.
This is great for protecting the motor, but with a minimal amount of work, it's possible to create something that's a bit more flexible:
3 settings:
Low temperature slope: Start decreasing Amps linearly
High temperature slope: Stop decreasting temperature and hold at effectively 250w (nominal motor rating)
Critical-Temperature: Cut's off the motor to cool down
Technically the motor should never reach the critical cutoff (if it's high enough), because the 250w rating means it can be run at that wattage endlessly without damage.
