Short Answers: No, the computer must be awake and yes, in conjunction with software and compatible apps it is possible to use your phone. Long Answer: This is essentially a "dumb" device. It is an interface only. It's capacity is only to talk to and link up with (save the required ID codes for each device) z-wave devices when it isn't connected to a computer that is turned on and running control software. That's called "learning mode". To actually control anything, whether that is via an automated scheduled/triggered event or because you've clicked something on your tablet/phone, this device must be plugged into a computer that is turned on and currently running an automation program. If the computer goes to sleep, the software isn't running, therefore no control. There are many programs out there, some free, some not, and not all are compatible with the z-stick, so you'll need to check. I currently use OpenRemote, because it's free...but, it is less than intuitive. Other options include Homegenie, InControl and Homeseer. Next, if you want to control things with your phone, you'll have to find an app that is compatible with the control software you have selected and install that app on your phone as well. Hope this helps.

I think it works that way. I notice it go to sleep mode after a while if no activities. There are couple settings at the bottom of the speaker for sleep mode settings. I love this speaker.

Yes. You can set it for when you wake. It turns itself off after 2 hours as well.

No, I don't think it tracks your sleep, as a matter of fact, pick something else. It is confusing to use and not very user friendly.

You can program them to do certain tasks. Look in the Google Play store for the app named Trigger and install that. You can set up a tag at work to enable wifi, disable bluetooh and set volume to vibrate, for instance.

yes, and if you have an iPhone you can even set it to automatically come on when you leave and automatically shut off when you come home, using your phone's location settings. That feature is saaa-weeet!

No. This communicates through your router. So your phone/computer will have to connect to the same router to control them.

No, unfortunately. This device is not what you wanted it to be (at least not what I expected it could do) and is still limited to use with apps that are specifically designed for it and not for everyday computer use or integration with other devices.

Not really, as long as you have a Wi-fi connection and your laptop is connected, it doesn't drop connection continuously or because of sleeping mode.

You can put the computer to sleep, but it's not a computer remote control. The remote is specifically for the windows software.

This works really well for me. However when I want to sleep and still be able to hear the alarm, I usually use an app on my phone called WhinenoiseHD and that works better for me. It has a timer so it turns itself off after 2-3 hours.

There's no problem with running the device 24/7. I've done it for about a month and have had no problems. Just set your monitor to sleep when you're not using the computer.

Yes if you leave the app on. The app works in the background still if you are running other apps or turn the phone off.

It must be designed that way. Chromebooks must be set to sleep when you have an inactive keyboard for a certain period of time. I have not found a solution in my search.

be sure you do not power off before closing the cover. the device will go into sleep mode and is awakened by opening the cover.
