Budget friendly way to control dimmable house lights

Question

I am currently compiling together a lighting system for my church and was wondering what the best, budget friendly options are available to control house lights from the lighting control desk. 
 
 Here are some guidelines that need to be addressed: 1. Must have architectural wall panel control (for custodians, etc who need to get in to the place when a console operator is not there) 
 2. Must be able to control the lights from the lighting control desk. 
 3. Must be budget conscious and effective. 
 Our lighting control desk is a Element 40 250 Channel. 
 I'm not sure about these ideas but here is what i'm thinking; 
 Getting a DMXKing eDMX4 Pro to combine the console and archetectual wall panel together. (link is here: https://dmxking.com/artnetsacn/edmx4-pro ) I would be open to a ETC equivalent of the product. This would be a HTP (Highest takes precedence) setup?? 
 
 Looking forward to responses.

Unknown said: Going back to controlling the house lights, I thought about using a system to control them using the remote trigger port on the element. I dont know though 
 
 If you decide to go the remote trigger port route, I recommend this:

 You can set up your work light look(s) to be triggered with switches. 
 
 Edit: At the risk of losing a customer, the cheapest and simplest solution is to have an electrician install a switch in between the wall dimmer and the lights that disables the wall dimmer and connects the house light power input to the output of a DMX dimmer pack.

This is what we use. We have a separate house light dimmer pack (6 X 2400) The remote panel is wired inline with the DMX wire from the Ion console to the DMX splitter, and is mounted on the wall near the curtain control. You simply create a look on the main lighting console and press button 1-10 to save each look to a preset. When the Ion console is shut down, light control is automatically transferred to the 10 button remote. A non-tech person can press button 1-10 to choose from work lights, house lights, various stage looks- All without accessing the main console- so it can even be used as a backup control in case the main console dies. Perfect also for a situation where someone just needs general lighting for a meeting, etc.
