Grid2Home, developer of Smart Energy Profile 2.0 (SEP-2) communication technologies, announced that it has completed a second round of funding, led by Granite Ventures. The funding will enable the company to take their SEP-2 standards-compliant G2H-SE2 Software solution into production and scale to meet the demands of a growing customer base. In addition, the company announced that Gordon Lum has joined Grid2Home as Vice President of Engineering.
