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
**YOUR_YOUTUBE_API_KEY** - Your API key from Google Developer Console
**YOUR_AWTRIX_IP** - Your AWTRIX local IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.108)
**YOUR_ICON_ID** - Icon ID from AWTRIX Icon Gallery (e.g., 26963)
