27 -1*. ShowRunner™ uses group-level commands, so each individual load in ShowRunner™ must have a corresponding Fixture Group in Pharos
28 -1*. The Pharos API limits commands to single-channel (intensity), RGB, or Intensity/CCT
29 -1*. For RGBW fixtures, it may be a good idea to define them as separate RGB and W fixtures so that ShowRunner™ is able to control the white channel separately from the RGB channels
