DMX cabling to connect fog machine, etc. to the relay and also from the relay to the DMX interface.
Do I have that sequence correct? I feel like my brain is about to explode.....

to start with i would not use a dmx fog machine as they can be quite expensive, so it would go from a computer running VSA to the usb interface to the relay pack, the exorcist is used for triggering and connects through another usb port. the relay pack has 120v outlets on it ( usually 4 ) so you would connect the light to one channel, the solenoid valve for the cylinder to another, then you would have to get a 120v relay and use it like a switch for the fog machine.
vsa $55
dmx interface $50
exorcist 299.00
dmx relay pack $70
dmx cable $20
total $595 + prop parts, cylinder, solenoid. etc
ouch
