Any way to enter Low Power Mode on Ventura automatically when battery is low?

Is there any way on a Macbook running Venture to enter Low Power Mode automatically when battery is low? The only options in Settings are Always or Never. Perhaps someone has a program or a Shortcuts script that could automate turning on LPM when the battery level reaches a certain point?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.5

I ended up writing my own Shortcuts script that automatically switches between regular and low power mode depending on the battery state. You can download it from GitLab (not GitHub), search for HenryKautz/auto-low-power-mode. Once launched, it runs continuously in the background and checks the battery level every two minutes.

Thank you, but note that the article says:

Unfortunately, the Mac doesn't notify users to turn on Low Power Mode when the battery dips below a specific percentage, like on the iPhone. As a result, MacBook users will need to manually turn on this option when they want to extend battery life.

I would like to find a program or script that will automatically turn on Low Power Mode only when the battery level is low.
