Support for external (hardware) effects

Hi,

I am new here and i was wondering if ue4 supports the possibility to controll external hardware for better effects, like ambilight effects, a fan for wind effects, directional rumble pads etc. to create a more real experience. in previous days there was this (old) ambx standard but i believe its gone? How are these kinds of features supported now?

Thnx for any advise
