I don't know where to start. I would like to set up motion detectors or maybe use the zones on my security cameras to make the LED's on my house change color when somebody approaches it.

This is a project that's been sitting on my desk for a while because I have no idea where to even start. I'm new to automation but have a gazillion Govee lights and lightstrips everywhere. Basically, the idea is that no matter what color my strip lights are outside, is that they would gradually change to red and maybe blinking red depending on what zone somebody is in.

Ideal scenario: House is chilling, it's white until stranger danger comes walking down the sidewalk. As they get closer to the portion of the sidewalk in front of my house, it changes from white to red. Directly in front of my house, it stays red but once they walk out of that zone, it will then change from red back to white again.

If they come off the side walk, towards the house, I'd like it to do something else, like start blinking red faster and faster or something.

I have no knowledge of anything going into this. Where do I begin? What should I google?

Thanks
