Model: HS200  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I am trying to install the HS 200 to a light switch that controls a power outlet.  The HS 200 has 2 black, 1 white (common) and 1 ground.  The plug has 1 black, 1 white and 1 ground.  The existing switch has both the black and the white connected to it.  Am I safe to think the black is the hot and the white is being used as the passthrough hot?  If so do I connect the HS 200 black to the black, the other HS black to the white, the HS white and ground both to the ground?

Before connecting anything we would recommend using a touchless volt meter to detect if a line has power on it or not.  for the HS200 you need to have a seperate line and load wire as well as a neutral.  The only wire that is optional is the ground.  If you do not have wiring that meets these requirements the HS200 cannot be used to replace that switch.
