Can I use my phone to control them?

I can't answer with certainty but most likely no. These run off a simple RF signal that is in the 433 MHz frequency band. Your phone does not work in that frequency band.

I currently have them controlled by my phone and Pebble Time by using a 433Mhz transmitter hooked up to a Raspberry Pi. It's certainly possible, but it does involve a little bit of work and patience to set up.Here's the guide I followed: https://www.samkear.com/hardware/control-power-outlets-wirelessly-raspberry-pi

No. This is a device that you plug lamps/electrical devices into and press a manual button for on/off. It's not programmable. Choose another device if you want something smart phone programmable.

You need to get a RF-to-WiFi hub like Hook (http://kck.st/1Ius6tS) to control them with your phone.

Once you install the software you can control the cameras remotely via an app on your phone. All you have to do is set up the cameras as described in the included manual and choose the app for your phone that you like best. It is very easy and works great. You can even hear audio from the camera and use the app to talk through the camera.

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.

Yes, you can play/pause track, step back/ahead, up/down volume, answer/drop calls, turn headphones on/off and perform voice command if available on the phone. A nice voice provides feedback for main actions, and alerts on battery low and connection down.

Yes you can. When you get a phone call while they're connected to your phone, it rings via the headset instead of the phone's speakers, so you should be able to take calls.

Yes you can, but not easily with the "magic wand" type remote control. If you intend to use it for surfing, you will want to upgrade to the new LG Magic Remote qwerty or similar device.

no, you can do everything in this case...phone calls, texts, volume adjustments, turning it on and off, etc.

You can. But the Bluetooth connection is not always great, while the phone will ring everywhere you have a handset if you answer you may not have a good connection.

I believe you need to buy a subscription with this unit to control it over the phone. It might be that you can buy something else to go with it but it won't just work on it's own. It is z-wave compatible so my husband is currently writing his own software for us to be able to control it on our phone without having to subscribe or buy anything else. He is close to be done - he has it so he can control it via the phone but he wants it to be able to send us reports and work with artificial intelligence to learn our habits. He is a big open source guy so once he has it done, he will probably post the application for others to use but I don't know when he will finish it.

Yes, more than one phone can control it. Only one phone can be tethered to it at a time though. If for example you left home your roommate will be able to control it with his phone once you're out of range and vice versa. Both of you will not how ever be able to connect and control the bulb simultaneously.

Yes. You can. Once you set up properly it just works like regular telephone. You won't be able to tell the difference.
