Methods, systems, and media for automatic and continuous control of energy-consuming devices

A system for energy management, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor that is configured to:
• determine connected devices from a plurality of devices that are eligible for automatic control, wherein the plurality of devices are connected to a communications network;
• determine available actions for each of the connected devices;
• generate a plurality of automatic control actions for at least a portion of the connected devices based at least in part on a dynamic rate of electricity generated by a dynamic rate engine and an energy mode selected by a user in an application, wherein the plurality of automatic control actions are based on the available actions for each connected device;
• cause a user interface to be presented in an application that indicates the plurality of automatic control actions for transmission to the portion of the connected devices, wherein the user interface provides a user interface element for overriding one or more of the plurality of automatic control actions;
• in response to determining that the user interface element for overriding one or more of the plurality of automatic control actions has not been selected by the user of the application, transmit a first subset of the plurality of automatic control actions to one or more communication gateways that are each connected to at least one of the subset of connected devices and a second subset of the plurality of automatic control actions directly to a subset of the connected devices via a device cloud platform;
• and
• update the user interface to indicate that at least one of the first subset of the plurality of automatic control actions and the second subset of the plurality of automatic control actions have been performed on the portion of the connected devices and energy usage savings from the performance of the automatic control actions.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for energy management, the method comprising:

• determining, using a hardware processor, connected devices from a plurality of devices that are eligible for automatic control, wherein the plurality of devices are connected to a communications network;
• determining, using the hardware processor, available actions for each of the connected devices;
• generating, using the hardware processor, a plurality of automatic control actions for at least a portion of the connected devices based at least in part on a dynamic rate of electricity generated by a dynamic rate engine and an energy mode selected by a user in an application, wherein the plurality of automatic control actions are based on the available actions for each connected device;
• causing, using the hardware processor, a user interface to be presented in an application that indicates the plurality of automatic control actions for transmission to the portion of the connected devices, wherein the user interface provides a user interface element for overriding one or more of the plurality of automatic control actions;
• in response to determining that the user interface element for overriding one or more of the plurality of automatic control actions has not been selected by the user of the application, transmitting, using the hardware processor, a first subset of the plurality of automatic control actions to one or more communication gateways that are each connected to at least one of the subset of connected devices and a second subset of the plurality of automatic control actions directly to a subset of the connected devices via a device cloud platform;
• and
• updating, using the hardware processor, the user interface to indicate that at least one of the first subset of the plurality of automatic control actions and the second subset of the plurality of automatic control actions have been performed on the portion of the connected devices and energy usage savings from the performance of the automatic control actions.
