Display YouTube Subscriber Count on Ulanzi AWTRIX Smart Clock

Overview:

This n8n workflow fetches the subscriber count of a specific YouTube channel using the YouTube Data API and displays the compacted count on an AWTRIX 3 / Ulanzi Smart Clock via its local HTTP API.

💡 You can run this every hour (or adjust the schedule), and it pushes a custom notification with a YouTube-style icon to your AWTRIX screen.

🔧 Setup Instructions:

1. 🧩 Requirements

• A working AWTRIX 3 (e.g., Ulanzi Smart Clock) on the same local network.
• A valid YouTube Data API v3 key.
• A channel ID for the YouTube channel you want to track.
• Upload a YouTube-style icon to your AWTRIX before running this flow:
• Go to AWTRIX Icon Gallery
• Search for a YouTube icon or upload your own
• Get the corresponding icon ID (e.g., 26963)

2. 🧠 How It Works

• Triggers every hour
• Makes a GET request to YouTube API to fetch subscriberCount
• Formats the number using compact notation (e.g., 1.2M)
• Sends a POST request to AWTRIX at your specified local IP with the count and icon

3. 🔧 Required Replacements:

Replace the following placeholder values in the HTTP Request nodes:

Placeholder - Replace With
YOUR_YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID - Your YouTube channel ID
