For decades, the electrical power grid worldwide has transformed from traditional to the smart power grid, focusing on its transparency to both utility and consumer. The energy management systems play a substantial part in demand response within the smart power grid umbrella, enabling demand-side management at the residential level. These systems generate the consumption profile of appliances and reduce the burden on end-user in scheduling appliances operations. With these consumption profiles of past usage, there is a possibility to generate a time window containing user preferable time slots for appliance operation for the next day. Using this time window, one can generate a cost-effective schedule-pattern autonomously. In this regard, this article proposes a home energy-demand management scheme consisting of a time window generator and a schedule-pattern generator to generate a cost-effectively comfortable schedule-pattern with demand threshold constraint. Multi-class appliances home enabled with a net-meter demonstrate the proposed approach's effectiveness. The simulation results showcase that the proposed approach helps the user to save electricity bills with constraint preserving comfort.
