is there a tutorial on how to get started in scripting with HS3 or HS4? Would like to know how to make calls to the script from HS and where to place the files.

The files are placed in ........../HomeSeer/scripts. The scripts are called from events in HomeSeer as shown in the snippet below:
You are not just limited to VB/C# etc scripts. You can also run command line scripts or different processes. There is documentation on scripting in tools->setup ... Homeseer help file. This will give you basics on scripting (function calls, simple syntax etc). The forum has a lot of information on scripting and many examples. Look in the howto section.
Hope this helps

I have an HS-WD200+ that turns on/off my outside lights. Sometimes the lights are turned on via a Scheduled Event and sometimes when I manually press the paddle. I would like the LEDs to turn Red when the lights are ON and Green when the lights are OFF. I don't want the LEDs manipulated from the Scheduled Event or from the Manual paddle press; I want the LEDs to follow the "Switch Multilevel" status of ON/OFF. I do not use the dimmer.

This because the external triggers don’t always get noticed. However, a polling of the device would notice the change of the status and change the LED color.HS 4.2.8.0: 2134 Devices 1252 Events
