Why wait? Smart lights are DMX controlled, and computers control things easiest these days with USB, so google up DMX and USB and hit ebay and then write some code to have your laptop control lighting. Once you have a computer controller in the loop you can do almost anything. ("Color Kinetics" is one brand of interesting computer controlled light I have played a bit with. I'm sure there are many more options out there also.)
