Controlling XL enclosure from slicer

Is there a way to control the XL enclosure from Prusa Slicer? I have the enclosure so I can print ASA, but when I only print PLA, the enclosure stays open so it doesn't get too warm. However, the fan still runs, which is noisy, consumes power unnecessarily and ages the HEPA filter prematurely. Can I somehow set the enclosure fan to only turn on for certain projects, or do I have to "uninstall" and "reinstall" the enclosure in the printer interface every time I switch between PLA and ASA?

https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/blob/master/src/hw/xl/xl_enclosure.hpp#L25 looks like it's hard coded in the firmware

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

Okay, thanks. Pity, that means I have to remember to activate and deactivate the enclosure whenever I switch materials, which I'm sure I'll forget regularly. 🙄

Hm according to the code PLA is not on the list so it should not turn on filtration? Maybe ask support, then.
