Regarding the battery status. After testing I will use a 12V external power source but I guess this doesn't matter. Right now it is connected by USB.

Could it be that it shows 0% because I'm using USB instead of external power?

So if I just set this I should never have to worry:
ZUNO_SETUP_BATTERY_LEVELS(2900, 3300);

The Z-Uno measures the voltage of the 3.3 V circuit. That voltage comes from a 3.3 V regulator and a diode, so it is around 3.1 V if you power your Uno through usb, 5V or "external"...

Forgot about your other question... I doubt if your Uno reports battery level if you set it to ZUNO_SLEEPING_MODE_ALWAYS_AWAKE

So your indigo might simply assume the level is "0".

I am not sure, but I think can test that with my Z-sniffer.
