There's an existing project made by a youtuber called Dave Plummer. He made a project that controls a strip light using the FastLED library where he made several effects here. You can fork or straight up copy his project. There is also the MQTT library where you can communicate withyoutr ESP32 in a very simple and mature protocol so you can do some crazy things there, like controlling a solid state relay for lights or something.
