fog machine control again

Hello
I would like to create a fog machine control.
The fog machine has 2 channels: FoG and Fan.
The control should have 4 sliders:
Slider 1: Length of fog eject time
Slider 2: Length of time between the ejects (interval)
Slider 3: Fog (eject quantity)
Slider 4: Fan
in addition:
1 On button
1 Off button
1 button for manual fog eject
I have already created a Loopback Slider that controls the eject time (Slider 1) in the Speed Dial.
I'm stuck at the point where the switch-off scene (Slider 2) starts automatically when the switch-on time has expired.
The next output must then come automatically again.
Could someone help me?

Best and easiest way to control fog machines is create a scene and trigger it with a flash button.

Well, that's not necessarily what I want.
With the 4 sliders I can adjust the fog machine or hazer individually for every location where I am. And then I don't have to worry about it anymore while I'm making music. I'm the dj.

Is it even possible to start a new chaser automatically when another chaser finishes? For example via Speed Dial or Cue List?

Why not put all the steps in each chaser into 1 chaser? You would get the same effect.

Okay, but can I then change the duration of the steps of the chaser in the VC in live mode differently with sliders?

Speed dial widget setting the hold times of your steps and external control of the tap-function or a slider setting the pace of the speed control by using a loopback...

I can only manage it with a slider in conjunction with the speed dial widget and loopback. I control the eject time with the slider. It is not the problem.
But I can't manage to integrate a second slider with which I can then change the time until the next eject. That is my Problem.
I still have a mistake in my thinking somewhere.

Didn't I sometimes show an example of a PWM project? Pulse Width Modulation...

This isn't really what I imagined.
I would like to control the Hazer at least with 2 sliders. (ejection time / interval)
I have the Hazer Controller, like in the picture. I wanted to recreate it with QLC+:
Is it possible to complete my project so that it works?:
