The CM12 is never powered from the PC, it is always powered from
batteries. I wouldn't recommend using rechargeable batteries in the
CM12 because rechargeables tend to self-discharge; you would be much
better off with alkalines in this situation.

I don't remember if the active home software is intelligent enough to
detect low battery status in the CM12, but I personally never found
the on-board macros terribly satisfactory, and it's likely you'll
quickly outgrow it. If you really want to make some headway, and can
leave a PC on 24/7, try using Autom8it, Homeseer or Mister House to
drive the CM12.
