Hello Gaetano,

The slider is supposed to show the current value of the property. So in case 
of the temperature, if the temperature is being updated, you can change that 
value using the edit box, instead of the slider. I considered the pros and 
cons of this arrangement before. Users would prefer a visual reference of the 
current value with respect to the maximum/minimum values.

Cheers,
