Summary: We develop methods for computing graded $K$-theory of
$C^*$-algeb\-ras as defined in
terms of Kasparov theory. We establish graded versions of Pimsner's six-term
exact
sequences for graded Hilbert bimodules whose left action is injective and by
compacts,
and a graded Pimsner--Voiculescu sequence. We introduce the notion of a
twisted $P$-graph
$C^*$-algebra and establish connections with graded $C^*$-algebras.
Specifically, we show
how a functor from a $P$-graph into the group of order two determines a
grading of the
associated $C^*$-algebra. We apply our graded version of Pimsner's exact
sequence to
compute the graded $K$-theory of a graph $C^*$-algebra carrying such a grading.
