Energy management apparatus

A gateway comprising:

• a processor operable to manage energy use at a site, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive network device data from a long range communication network, the network device data initiated from at least one of a mobile device or a cloud service to alter an operating condition of a network device located at a site, wherein the network device data is included as TCP/IP formatted data;
• detect an availability of the network device connected to a second network that is different than the first network, wherein the second network is configured as a local network at the site using non-TCP/IP formatted communication;
• format the network device data to a message bus format configured to be output to a communication device configured to access the second network to alter the operating condition using the network device data initiated from at least one of the mobile device or the cloud service;
• receive response data from the network device formatted to be communicated using the second network;
• and
• translating the received response data to another format capable of being output using TCP/IP enabled data over the long range communication network, wherein the received response data includes updated network device data responsive to the received network device data.
