vsa $55
dmx interface $50
exorcist 299.00
dmx relay pack $70
dmx cable $20
total $595 + prop parts, cylinder, solenoid. etc

First off, thanks so much for helping me on this. OK, let's see if I'm starting to get this. Here's a really rough schematic I drew. Before I ask any more questions, do I have this right so far?
Edit: For the fog machine, Chauvet makes a timer adapter (DMX-3F: $30) for their non-DMX fog machines. I'm thinking if I couple that with their 650 Hurricane ($40), then that could be DMX controlled fogger?
