Possible to set a automatic standby bed temperature?

Hi all. As per the title really, I've put my MK3S+ in a 3 storey Ikea Lack enclosure but I've been forced by the wife to get it out of the house which is fine while its printing. If it stays on standby overnight at the moment the temperature eventually gets below 10C and it trips out with a temp error and I can't get it running again until I power cycle it which takes ages waiting for Octoprint to boot.

If in Octoprint, I set the bed temp to 10C once a print has finished it keeps the extruder and the bed just high enough to stop it tripping out.

Is there any way to set the standby bed temp to 10C rather than 0C in the firmware?

Many thanks.

I just did a google search and looked at the firmware I have installed and I am not seeing this as being possible.

Many thanks for clearing it up. I've now bought a reptile heat mat which has a adjustable thermostat built in.  Hopefully that'll do the trick.

Low temperature performance perplexes me...
usually if the tempt are below 15C I get a Mintemp Bed error... 

Last time I started from cold, the display showed 0C for bed and extruder, but there was no Mintemp error... 
Odd...
