1. An energy management apparatus comprising:

  • a processor operable to manage energy use at a site, wherein the processor is configured to;

    convert an incoming message received from a wireless energy network into XML enabled output data;

    format an outgoing message to be output to the wireless energy network using XML enabled input data, wherein the XML enabled input data includes a network device identifier of a network device accessible using the wireless energy network; and

    a communication interface configured to enable access to a communication device having access to the wireless energy network, wherein the communication interface is further configured to;

    detect the outgoing message formatted by the processor to be output by the communication device using the wireless energy network;

    convert the outgoing message from a message bus format to a communication device format associated with the communication device, wherein the outgoing message includes network device data configured to be output to the wireless energy network;

    detect the incoming message received from the wireless energy network using the communication device, wherein the incoming message includes incoming network device data; and

    convert the incoming message from the communication device format associated with the communication device to the message bus format to allow the processor to access the incoming network device data.
