Is there an alert that goes to the iPhone to let you know if the system turns off when away, perhaps due to a power failure?

Yes. Honeywell has a web site that allows you to customize the alerts you want sent and the frequency you want them sent to you. For example, they allow you to send a message if there is wifi communication lost, if the temp hits over or under a certain degree (that you set), etc... I found it very easy to use. I initially bought this unit for a summer home to moinitor in the winter but liked it so much a bought another for my full time home.

Any time the server loses contact with thermostat, for any reason, you get an email notification. You also are notified when the connection is restored.

I have gotten numerous emails throughout time saying there was trouble connecting. I am not 100% sure, but I believe you would get an email if it cannot connect for a period of time. I know 100% sure if you try to change the temp from the app and it does not go through you will get an email. This is an excerpt from an email I got recently when my router went down: The following Alert has occurred:The thermostat Family Room is not communicating with My Total Connect Comfort.Alert occurred at: 12/29/2013 07:10:56 UTCLocation Name: HomeThermostat Name: Family Room I have gotten numerous emails throughout time saying there was trouble connecting.

I would think only if your phone system loses power or the unit had a bad batter.

Hi Eddie. Unfortunately, You will need to turn it back on yourself after a power outage. Have a great day!Vermin

May be able to keep it plugged in and turned on and just connect disconnected from Bluetooth but no power on from phone that I know of.

Yes. Go to menu; scroll up or down until you come to answering machine. Hit the menu button again and when see answering machine on showing on the screen it means that the answering machine is in fact off.

According to the documentation, the unit will remain OFF after a power failure. I believe this is a safety precaution.

Yes. Leave it on. In fact, if there is a power failure the whole re-booting, re-linking process needs to start over again from step-1. It's an overly complicated and one can tell Philips designed it, not Apple.

when the battery dies! That has to reflect on the server .. should notify before the battery runs out!

I don't usually run the system on a battery unless I take it somewhere besides my desk but the power light doesn't go off when the iphone turns off so I would assume that it is still sucking power from the dock.

If power to the device is lost (i.e., unplugged, power failure, etc.), you'll have to "Forget this device" from your iPhone and re-pair it each time. This makes it rather unsuitable for an automotive application, for example, where the device shuts off with the ignition. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. :)

It is best to power off your iphone then let it charge. it's ok for emergency but sometime it does charge very slow

Hello,Zubie now alerts you when the device has been plugged back in, as well as the duration for which it was unplugged. We are not able to alert on the event the device unplugged, because our device does not have a battery backup, but think this new feature is very helpful!Thanks,Zubie Support/Zubie Community

I use it when the power on my iphone is going down. I have not used it very often. I had trouble at first but do not think I had it completely charged.

Why would you want to? Switch off (open circuit an remove power) is the same as a power outage. Light would come on until battery dies.

I use it as back up to my iphone when it dies. You first have to charge the charger, and keep it turned off until your phone gets low on battery, then turn charger on. Make sure the iphone is securely set into the case. It may take a minute to engage, but it will bring your iphone back to life. It will make occasional beeping sound, indicating its working.

if it was a power outage yes.... one of my units is in a mountain area that frequently losses power. I get an alert that the wifi is out and the later it tells me that it has reconnected.

I can see an icon on my iPhone that indicates the status of the light: on or off.
