Philips Hue + AlienFX possible?

I don't know whether this is a right topic for "home theater" - but it's somekind of the right topic...

 

I had the idea to complete AlienFX-Hardware for gaming with an "ambilight" thing on the back of my screen and probably with some Philips Hue lamps inside my room...

Especially for AlienFX the Hue lamps have to switch colors very fast in a pulsating sheme for some games and some music - but I'm not sure how fast Philips Hue lamps can react to such things.

For example (a music example, because I think it's better to understand what I want): If I have music playing with around 140-200 beats per minute and I want to make Philips hue lamp to brightness-pulse at every single beat - Is Philips Hue capable of that and probably some faster music?

In case of AlienFX and Hue I thought it would be really nice to have a whole room in AlienFX-Colors and not just Keyboard and Mouse. That would be really great for gaming...

 

Is there any Philips Hue controller that reacts to AlienFX from Games to match keyboard+mouse lighting? I can't find something for that use in the internet

(if you want to have the most effective mousepad - use a colored matte floor tile)

I have hue lighting and can make it work along the same lines as ambilight using a plugin for XBMC/Kodi Media Centre.

 

I've also used an app on my tablet which reads colour using the inbuilt camera to give the same effect. There is a bit of a time delay, however. Can't be more specific to your scenario unfortunately, but it'd be possible if someone is willing to code it.
