Inno2Grid is a Corporate Digital Venture Builder that focuses on smart energy solutions for residential environments. Their flagship product, HEMSlogic Gateway, connects home electronic devices such as solar panels, energy storage systems, and electric vehicle chargers to enable real-time energy optimization and compliance with German EnWG §14a standards.
HBM partnered with Inno2Grid to rapidly scale their engineering capacity and deliver a production-ready MVP of the platform. Our team of back-end, front-end, mobile, and DevOps engineers worked alongside Inno2Grid's internal team, covering everything from embedded development and cloud architecture to cross-platform mobile application development and ongoing product enhancements.
"HBM has been a trusted partner for us for many years.
They help us scale our in-house capacity and expertise in ways we could never have achieved without them.
The standard of integrity, reliability, and customer focus that HBM consistently delivers, even during the most challenging periods, truly sets them apart and makes them one of our most valued suppliers."

Inno2Grid needed to move fast. Their goal was to build and launch an MVP for a cloud-based smart home energy management platform while keeping their internal team lean and focused on the product vision.
Client challenges to resolve:
HBM operated as a full-scope technology partner, responsible for translating Inno2Grid's product vision into a working and scalable platform across embedded, cloud, and user-facing layers.
We implemented the embedded component of the HEMSlogic solution, enabling direct communication between home energy devices and the platform through local data collection and secure cloud transmission.
HBM.ai built the backend on Python and Azure with a microservices architecture designed for real-time processing of high-frequency energy data streams and horizontal scalability.
Our team developed the web interface from scratch in Angular, focused on making complex energy data accessible and actionable for non-technical homeowners.
We delivered cross-platform mobile applications in React Native, giving users full monitoring and control over their energy consumption and storage on the go.
Our DevOps engineers established CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure management practices to support frequent, reliable deployments across all platform components.
HBM.ai’s team integrated thousands of IoT edge devices, including smart meters, photovoltaic systems, and EV chargers, enabling centralized real-time monitoring and control across connected homes.
The engagement delivered a fully operational energy management platform, from embedded device communication through cloud processing to user-facing applications, with a foundation built for continued growth.
