https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_hardware the big difference is the cost of entry for a software project vs hardware. Software you’re looking at a computer and time. Hardware you need at minimum a few hundred dollars for pcbs, and chips.
Using available goods though, there are things out there. Check out WLED. https://kno.wled.ge/ it’s a software stack that runs on esp32 (mostly) boards to drive LEDs in very fun ways.
