You will make the BLE app, and the BLE module would send serial data to the Arduino. You will make the Arduino receiver program to turn things on and off, in arrays...
Depends what you mean by "overloaded". If you mean "provide power to", then that lot would overload any Arduino, many times over. Arduino is meant to control, not power. But if you mean pins, processing speed, working memory and program space, then even the most basic will probably be fine, although we can't say for sure without more detail on those devices (links please, posted as shown in the forum guide).

Seems like alot of loads to be attaching to the Arduino. Any idea which one i should start with? Wont get "overloaded" ?
You will want to run it all from a relay board and run those relays from a shift register etc. There's a bit more electronics than just the Arduino. Since this is an area you want to explore, start with trying to turn on and off a light from your phone. You can borrow from other's but if you don't fully understand what you are borrowing, you will only get further behind as you continue to add and modify your code and system.

Yeah I should have specified.
This post is for research mostly. I know more about intermediate electronics and hookups rather than arduino so I wanted to go to the other side and make it a little easier on myself
I have this apparatus set up already with its own power sources routed thru one main power supply.. the controls are pretty analog except for the LED strips, they are controlled by the phone app currently
Just need some help brainstorming really, you brought up a good point of power, and how it will be routed.
I wanted to know how well the arduino's could process multiple signals at once. and make changes all at the same time.
I asked you to post your links according to the forum guide. If you get asked to do something on this forum that you don't understand, please ask about it. Don't just ignore the request. That's rude.
Right now your "links" don't work, they cannot be clicked. But I'm sure they are very interesting.
Arduino can only deal with one input or one output at a time. But it can do it so fast that to us humans it looks like it's doing many things at once.
