I want to switch on light via GPIO+relais whenever the TimeLapse is taking a picture and switch of right afterwards....... is there a way of the plugins?

Using WS281x LED Status and OctoLapse this is possible and I wrote a guide on how to do this.

I recently discovered there was a hook for the default timelapse too, this may be implemented in the future.

Other plugins may do something similar, I only know my own

I also have a couple of plugins that you can do this with using standard wall plug (tplink, wemo)/relay (anything you can flash tasmota on) and/or tplink smart bulbs.
