Abstract

The energy management system and/or method includes at least one wireless controller in a wireless network and/or a management server. The wireless controller manages at least one energy device based on one or more parts of an energy profile. The management server manages one or more parts of the energy profile, transmits one or more parts of the energy profile to the wireless controller, and receives energy data from the wireless controller.

Claims

1. A wireless controller, comprising:

a control module for managing at least one energy device based on one or more parts of an energy profile; and

a network interface module for transmitting energy data to a management server and receiving the one or more parts of the energy profile from the management server.

2. The wireless controller of claim 1, wherein the network interface module routes and/or forwards communications via a wireless mesh network.

3. The wireless controller of claim 1, wherein the control module manages the energy device based on second energy data collected by one or more wireless sensors.

4. The wireless controller of claim 1, further comprising one or more wireless actuators for actuating and/or deactuating the energy devices.

5. The wireless controller of claim 1, further comprising a display device for visual communication, audio communication, tactile communication, or any combination thereof.

6. The wireless controller of claim 1, wherein the wireless controller operates autonomously based on the one or more parts of the energy profile.

7. The wireless controller of claim 1, wherein the control module allows for manual user control of the wireless controller.

8. The wireless controller of claim 1, wherein the control module stores the one or more parts of the energy profile.

9. A wireless controller, comprising:

means for managing at least one energy device based on one or more parts of an energy profile;

means for transmitting energy data to a management server; and

means for receiving the one or more parts of the energy profile from the management server.

10. A method for energy management, the method comprising:

monitoring at least one energy device based on one or more parts of an energy profile;

transmitting energy data to a management server; and

receiving the one or more parts of the energy profile from the management server.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising routing and/or forwarding communications via a wireless mesh network.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising managing the energy device based on second energy data collected by one or more wireless sensors.

13. The method of claim 10, further comprising actuating and/or deactuating, by one or more wireless actuators, the energy devices.

14. The method of claim 10, further comprising operating autonomously based on the one or more parts of the energy profile.

15. The method of claim 10, further comprising storing the one or more parts of the energy profile.

16. The method of claim 10, further comprising determining a alert based on the one or more parts of the energy profile and/or the energy data.

17. The method of claim 10, further comprising managing the energy device based on the one or more parts of the energy profile and/or the energy data.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the managing the energy device comprises controlling, directing, and/or monitoring the energy device.
