Need help with my first lighting app mod

I’ll start out with this, I’m not a good programmer, by any means, I will probably never fully get this down.

I’ve been using the Built-in Smart Lighting app like crazy to set colors and scenes for my Lightify bulbs, which are now all over the house. 2 things I don’t like about the app:

  1. It’s built for Hue, which means the colors are off with Lightify. Blue is purple, green is turquoise, purple is pink, etc.
  2. It only lets you set dim levels in 10% increments. I prefer 5% or less, especially for movie nights.

I wanted to simply modify the source code, which would be EASY, but I found out that the source code is a guarded secret. Plan B, I found this sample app, which is a simplified version:
http://docs.smartthings.com/en/latest/smartapp-developers-guide/parent-child-smartapps.html#example

Bingo, a good app for me to start with. I needed to make 4 modifications, though:

  1. Change the 10-20-30…% increment enum to a simple integer value, so I could input any value I want.
  2. Add some more color choices, like Teal, Sky Blue, Indigo, etc.
  3. I don’t want to activate at a certain time, but rather when the mode changes. (this also means I deleted the line for “Off time”)
  4. I will still need to go in and tweak the color values for Lightify.

For now, the program compiles, but I get an unknown error in the app.
