Pull your DTE Energy usage and bills into your systems

Automate DTE with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

  • Last month's hourly kWh for every account, to your energy system

    Build this
    Starts
    Monthly on the 3rd at 6:00
    Step 1
    For each account and meter you name, get the electric interval data for the previous calendar month.
    Step 2
    Keep each hourly reading with its account number and meter.
    Step 3
    Post the readings to your energy management or data warehouse webhook.
  • Bills due this week, across all your DTE accounts

    Build this
    Starts
    Every Monday at 8:00
    Step 1
    Get the bill amounts and payment due dates for every account on your login.
    Step 2
    Keep the bills with a payment due date in the next 7 days.
    Step 3
    Email you the list, sorted by payment due date.
  • New statements, handed to accounts payable

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 7:00
    Step 1
    Get the bill amounts and due dates for every account on your login.
    Step 2
    Keep the statements that were not there on the last run.
    Step 3
    Post each one to your accounts payable webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get electric interval data” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "newlook.dteenergy.com/get_electric_interval_data",
    "input": {
      "account_number": "910000000001",
      "start_date": "2026-11-10",
      "end_date": "2026-11-10"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "account_number": "910000000001",
    "meter": "M-00418823",
    "readings": [
      {
        "interval_start": "2026-11-10T00:00",
        "interval_end": "2026-11-10T01:00",
        "kwh": 412.6
      }
    ]
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

DTE’s own options

DTE's business website is free and shows billing statements, bill amounts, payment due dates and Interval Data Reports, with hourly electric usage and daily gas usage for the past 13 months. DTE describes no API for business customers. Data reaches a third party through a signed Customer Consent Release Form, and building owners can send building usage to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.

Signing in to DTE

DTE signs you in with your email address, which is your username, and a password of 8 to 25 characters. One login reaches every account associated with it, and a business account needs a different email address from a residential one. With Fous you sign in once through DTE's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Business and residential need separate logins
DTE asks for a different email address and password for a business account and a residential one. Sign in with the business login, which lists every business account associated with it.
Usage history goes back 13 months
Electric customers can get hourly usage and gas customers daily usage for the past 13 months. Pull it on a schedule if you need a longer history in your own systems.
Delegates can have view only access
Under Manage Users you create delegate users with full access or view only access. The Business Website Guide lists delegate types for View/Pay, Move In, Move Out and Usage.
Reports are generated on request
Electric Interval Data and Electric Consumption History are reports: you choose the account and meter, select Generate Report, and the report appears at the bottom of the page to open or save.
