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.
