Landing pages providing [Tuya](http://tuya.com/) equipped devices ([data sheets](https://docs.tuya.com/en/hardware/WiFi-module/wifi-e1s-module.html)) with Tasmota using OTA without soldering.

Tuya devices are sold under several brands - recognizable by that they are out of the box connected by the Tuya Smartphone Apps "[Smart Life](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tuya.smartlife)" or "[Tuya Smart](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tuya.smart)". These devices incorporate different types of [Tuya Wi-Fi modules](http://en.hysiry.com/products.aspx?TypeId=10) internally.
[Tuya](http://tuya.com/) devices are sold under numerous brand names but they're all identifiable by the fact that they connect with these phone apps: "[Smart Life](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tuya.smartlife)" or "[Tuya Smart](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tuya.smart)". They incorporate different types of [Tuya Wi-Fi modules](http://en.hysiry.com/products.aspx?TypeId=10) internally.
At this time, [Tuya-Convert](https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert) is the preferred method of flashing Tuya modules via OTA. It is considered the more robust process that handles more scenarios and has a higher degree of successful completion.
> Tuya has begun manufacturing some Wi-Fi modules using a [Realtek RTL8710BN](https://www.realtek.com/en/products/communications-network-ics/item/rtl8710bn) Wi-Fi SOC instead of an ESP82xx chip. <br>**Tasmota cannot run on Realtek devices and there are no plans on supporting them**.
**Tuya-Convert by default installs `sonoff-basic.bin`. This firmware variant is very limited and doesn't support all of Tasmota's features. We recommend to use [Sonoff-Tuya](http://thehackbox.org/tasmota/sonoff-tuya.bin) instead off.
This version supports nearly all Tuya devices. There is _**no**_ need for a OTA Upgrade anymore.**
[Tuya-Convert](https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert) is the most successful method of flashing Tuya modules without opening the device and soldering.
**To ensure Tasmota runs reliable please do execute the command `reset 5` after Tuya-Convert finished and Tasmota is up. Doing this removes fragments left in flash from the original firmware. All needed configurations can be done now.**
Tuya-Convert comes with `sonoff-basic.bin` and [installs it by default](https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert#flash-third-party-firmware). That version is very limited and doesn't support all of the features necessary for normal use and it is necessary to immediately upgrade the firmware after completing the Tuya-Convert process.
**We recommend the [`sonoff-tuya.bin`](http://thehackbox.org/tasmota/sonoff-tuya.bin) build.** This version supports nearly all Tuya devices and is small enough to use as the third-party binary during the conversion. Naturally, you can use it for all future upgrades of the firmware as well.
Help and troubleshooting for Tuya-Convert is done from [Tuya-Convert Github](https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/issues)
**To ensure Tasmota runs reliably execute the command [`reset 5`](commands#reset) after Tuya-Convert is finished and Tasmota is up and running.** Doing this removes fragments of the original firmware left in flash which can create issues in the future. After all that is done you can proceed with the needed [configuration](initial-configuration) of your device.
:warning: Please research your device before purchasing to see if other users have been able to flash the device successfully using these methods.
Help and troubleshooting for Tuya-Convert is done on [Tuya-Convert's Github](https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert/issues).
