1. A method to configure a home energy management system (HEMS) in a home area network (HAN), the method comprising:
- performing customer authorization in a server of a power provider based on HEMS device information and customer authorization information inputted through the HEMS;
registering the HEMS device information and customer authorization information with a smart meter; and
managing each of one or more energy profiles of at least one HAN device including the smart meter connected to the HAN, wherein managing each of the one or more energy profiles of the at least one HAN device comprises;
requesting, by the at least one HAN device, a beacon message to the smart meter, andtransmitting, by the smart meter, the beacon message including energy profile information to the at least one HAN device.

Abstract
A method for configuring a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) in a Home Area Network (HAN) is provided. The method includes registering the HEMS to a smart meter, and managing an energy profile of an HAN device including the smart meter connected to the HAN. Accordingly, a Demand Response (DR) may not normally operate between devices even if energy profile differs from one device to another.
