Title

Workflow name
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.

šŸ’” 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.

šŸ”§ 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. šŸ”§ 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)
