Smart Home Automation Tools: Light Shows, Reactive Lighting and Now Playing Displays

These tools come out of a home automation system that runs our own house: Halloween shows that sync smart lights, LED panels and speakers to a cue timeline, outdoor lights that follow people through a camera view, and a now-playing display for the speakers.

Each is being generalised so it works with your devices instead of ours. None of them promises compatibility with every smart-home ecosystem: the supported devices are listed on each page.
