Yup, there are thermostats that you can simply put inline with the "trigger" cord to most cap light controllers I know at least. It's really only for an emergency but once the temp. has reached the set point, it will kill power to the cap controller and obviously anything that it's hooked up to. The trigger cord is key here as it some how(not an electrician here) makes it so that your "High temp. kill switch" thermostat isn't taking all of the load of amps that your cap controller may be.
Maybe someone here can elaborate or help you better but if you have a trigger cord, that's a pretty key element right there.
