Setting this environment variable sets the value in `setupVars.conf`, but this is only used in chronometer (as you have seen) and PADD (also - use PADD, it's much sexier than chronometer)

For the web interface, the setting was moved to a per-browser setting alongside some others in this PR:

Some further discussion around the subject can be found:

> If I understand the code correctly, the possibility to set (better: read and use) the temperature by setupVars.conf was removed (or forgotten?) as the ability to change it per web GUI was implemented.
