A RIN is a unique 16-digit number that tells your smart device the price you are currently paying for your energy use. In the future, you might use the Rate Identification Number (RIN) to program smart devices like smart thermostats, EV chargers, or energy management systems to optimize your energy use when the manufacturer has enabled its use. Once these smart device features are available, simply scan the QR code using the smart device app during the setup process.

• The RIN QR code is displayed on all customer’s bills who are on a Time of Use (TOU) or Real Time Pricing (RTP) Rate.
• The RIN QR code can be used in the future to program smart devices to manage energy usage based on TOU and RTP pricing.

• You are not required to scan the RIN QR code.
• Contact your smart device manufacturer to confirm if your device can use the RIN QR code for programming. The required manufacturer’s technology for smart devices to program the RIN QR code is not available today for most devices.
• When the technology is available, you may scan the QR code or enter the 16-digit RIN only if you’re setting up a smart

• SCE recommends that customers do not use their phone camera apps to scan the QR code directly, until smart device manufacturers have enabled the required technology in their devices.
• Contact your smart device manufacturer to confirm if your device can use the RIN QR code for programming.
• The QR code should only be scanned with a smart device set-up app. If you scan the QR code directly with your camera app, you will receive the following image based on the type of phone.

• Contact your smart device manufacturer to confirm if your device can use the RIN QR code for programming. Most device manufacturers have not yet added the required functionality to their devices to read the RIN QR code printed on your bill.

• In the future, if you have a smart device such as a smart thermostat, an EV charger or an energy management system, your device may be able to use your RIN to better manage your electricity usage
• Your energy price information may be used to program smart devices to automatically shift energy usage to lower-cost times and minimize energy use during higher cost time periods.

There is no fee to use the RIN QR code.

If you are a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customer, you may see two RINs on your bill. To register, simply scan either QR code, which includes both the SCE and CCA RINs:

• One RIN corresponds to the SCE charges (delivery of electricity).
• The other RIN is linked to the CCA charges (supply/generation of electricity).
• Both RINs are required to register your device.

• Once manufacturers have added the required technology to their devices, CCA customers will need to use both RIN QR codes.
