Store Dmx Color Value in the Dashboard/Timeline
I'm using the RGBW template light in my show to control a four channel apollo "right arm" and redirect the position of my projector.
The channels map correctly and I can manually move the projector arms, but I cannot seem to store the information (the color information which is now the position information) into a cue. I only seem to be able to store and access intensity. Is there a keyframe fix for this in a timeline? Is there a section of the dashboard I cannot reach? Do i need to make entirely new fixtures in new timelines/dashboards to move from one to the other? I would appreciate the advice of anyone else working with this type of unit in Millumin2. Thank you!

For now, Millumin is focused on traditional lights such as PAR, fresnel, ... So for now, Millumin only has states/keyframes for the intensity of the lights (one DMX channel per light).
However, you could create a data-track to send any DMX signal : see this tutorial. I mean 3 data-track for the red, the green and the blue.
Another solution is to create a pixel-mapping with a "DMX layer" : the principle is simple, sending DMX signals depending on the color of the pixels. This is used a lot with LED, see this tutorial.
Of course, we're aware that non-traditional lights could be managed far better in Millumin. That's why, we're planning to improve and extend this system for more advanced lights in Millumin V2+ (more info on the website).
By the way, we created a poll on Facebook last week regarding this topic.
