HS200 with 3 black wires
My home wiring has 3 black wires. The switch powers two plugs as well as a light. I've tried several wiring configurations and while the switch works as any other switch, it only blinks orange and is unable to connect to my WIFI.
The switch I removed had two wires connected to screws on one side with one connected through a whole on the back.
What do I need to do to make this work?

Compatibility: The HS200 smart switch should work. The output is 15A General Use, 600W Incandescent
Safety: Safety Concerns, due to the unique setup and the fact that two outlets are receiving power, it's suggested to contact an electrician to determine the safety of using a smart switch in this configuration.
Wiring: Connect your house line (live power) wire to the line wire of the switch. Connect the Load wires to the outlet and light to the load wire of the Switch.
Wattage Considerations: if the outlet is drawing big power from the switch, there needs to be sufficient wattage for the lights to function correctly.
