This fogger machine on its own would definitely be useful to see how air is circulting in a closed cabinet with glass panel and configure the front/rare/top fan speed individually so there are no hot spots.

Seems a bit convoluted, why not mount the pi directly in the fog machine and bypass the remote part?

It's likely that having multiple fans would be causing hot spots, just remove all but one plane of fans and leave the opposite end vented

I bought some ultrasonic atomisers from aliexpress, they create a mist from plain water and can be powered from usb power banks.

Recently did similar stuff, modifying my fog machine to be controlled by an Arduino.
Still have not quite figured out the PEM7D IR photoelectric beam sensor, but working on it.
