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.
