Saw these at party city today, has anyone modified one of these to trigger props?

I haven't used it for that purpose, but its the only wireless fog remote that actually lights up to let you know when its ready. I've purchased two similar products in the past, only to return them because every time I pushed the button...the fogger wasn't ready. At least this remote lets you know when to press the button.

To answer your question:
This is what I use to trigger props.

You can get them as low as $7 if you shop around. The remote controlled wireless outlets work great, most have a 30ft range!

Hey eyegore,

I actually have used the wireless outlets in the past, but for some reason I was having limited success with them cutting on/off whenever I hit the button. Sometimes the prop would not come on, sometimes it would come on and not shut off. I was wanting to use the wireless fogger remote to hook into a picoboo and trigger that if possible. I'm going to hack around on it today and see what I can come up with.
