Very similar to [Battery-triggered Button](https://community.folivora.ai/t/battery-triggered-button/16321/) I tried getting the code from that post and putting it in my own code, but I couldn't do it. So does anyone know how to make the code below run when my battery is 10% remaining, and only once (and not while charging)? ``` set buttonSet to {"OK"} display alert "Warning." message "Battery is 10%. Please charge your Macbook." buttons buttonSet as critical ``` Thanks ---

I use this script to provide an alert on the touchbar when the battery drops to 10% and not plugged in. The entire touchbar will be red in order to catch my attention. ``` set batteryStatus to do shell script "pmset -g batt" set powerSource to word 4 of batteryStatus set percentage to word 11 of batteryStatus as string set charging to word 12 of batteryStatus set remaininghours to word 8 of paragraph 2 of batteryStatus as string set remainingminutes to word 9 of paragraph 2 of batteryStatus as string if powerSource is "AC" then return "" else if percentage is "100" then return "" else if percentage is less than "11" then return " ⚠️ " & percentage & "% Remaining Warning: Low Battery!! " & " " & remaininghours & "h " & remainingminutes & "m" & " ⚠️ " else return "" end if ``` ---

thanks, but I don't want it to say anything. also, does this line show the warning on the touchbar? I don't want that either... `return "Warning: " & batteryPercent & "% Remaining. Please charge MacBook. " & remainingminutes & "min until lockdown"` ---

when I press run script, it works, but when the battery reaches the set percentage (set to 16% for testing) it didn't come up.
