Play Animation on customized event, e.g. play a music, apart from standard methods in patttern

[daiqing2009]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I just wonder specific let animation(s) can be shown when certain event, apart from standard , is triggered,e.g. playing music locally.

Describe the solution you'd like
When playing (certain piece of) music, e.g. Christmas songs, it will be fascinating if specific led animation(s) can be shown on the respeaker leds

Describe alternatives you've considered
I got some hint from #103, which suggest hook on hermes/audioServer//playBytes/. Though, i agree that it is NOT a standard feature, just wonder if some kind of plugin architecture can be well-defined so that we can implement a specific plugin for that.

Hi there!

Nice idea, love it!

As of now, you could use hermes/leds/manual/animations to call animations.

This calls for premade animations, but they are easily extensible? Otherwise, we could also think about a "partition" architecture, a way to send a pattern over mqtt that HLC would play?

Thanks, @Psychokiller1888 , let me try this idea today or tomorrow. Will feedback the result.

I try to make most of the animation available, but i encounter one problem, once the parameter is not correct(logs below), leds fails to respond to further instructions.
