Triggering a Mister and a light with a Prop 1 and PIR sensor

Complete Newbie here!  Just purchased a Prop 1 starter kit. 

I would like to be able to control a 12 volt solonoid and a light.

When the person triggers the PIR the Light comes on for 5 sec. 
After the first 2 sec the mister activates.  for 3 sec.  Then resets in 5 sec. to be triggered again.  I am completely clueless on how to write this program?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've been told that I'm completely clueless, too, but I do know how to write Prop-1 programs.  Here's code that matches your requirement.  You don't say how you're controlling the light.  If it's a 120 VAC light then you'll need a relay connected to OUT0 (other side to V+) to switch the AC for the light.
