The present invention provides a method for terminal management in a home network, a device, and a home network. A gateway ACS generates a service template according to service server information received from a service server, where the service template includes a first application identifier corresponding to an application service; a home gateway acquires the service template from the gateway ACS, and creates a virtual client for the application service corresponding to the first application identifier, and when an application service corresponding to a second application identifier acquired from a terminal belongs to the application service corresponding to the first application identifier, maps information corresponding to the second application identifier, to the virtual client corresponding to the first application identifier; and the virtual client implements message exchange between the service server corresponding to the first application identifier and the terminal. By using the method, device, and network provided by the present invention, management of a terminal by multiple service servers can be implemented.
