TOU Tools

Know when electricity is peak, off-peak, or super off-peak at US addresses — and build automations around it.

  TOU Tools is the official channel for tou.tools, the time-of-use (TOU) electricity schedule API built for AI agents (MCP)
  and developers (REST). Tutorials and demos covering:

  • Home Assistant — TOU period sensors, off-peak automations, smart charging
  • AI agents — give Claude and other agents live peak/off-peak awareness via MCP
  • EV charging & home batteries — dispatch around peak windows with forward schedules
  • API walkthroughs — ZIP and address lookup, full schedules, webhooks, alerts

  Schedules and period boundaries only — clean data, no rate-plan marketing.
