Home energy management system on a stick, connected to utility meter

A method comprising:

• receiving, real-time energy information of energy consuming devices and energy producing devices, using a communication gateway of a communication module, wherein the energy consuming devices and the energy producing devices are electrically coupled to an energy management module;
• receiving, input energy data from a utility meter, using the communication gateway, wherein the energy management module is electrically coupled to the utility meter;
• determining, energy consumption data of the energy consuming devices and the energy producing devices from the energy information;
• identifying, a first device based on a first set of predefined priority values assigned to the energy consuming devices, wherein the first device requires energy;
• identifying, a second device based on a second set of predefined priority values assigned to the energy producing devices, wherein the second device has excess energy;
• establishing, a wireless connection between the first device and the second device using the communication gateway;
• and
• controlling, energy transfer from the second device to the first device based on instructions received by the communication module from an application, wherein the instructions received by the communication module are based on the energy consumption data and the input energy data to enable smart scheduling and power optimization among the energy consuming devices and the energy producing devices.
