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.
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 and foolproof process that handles more scenarios and has a higher degree of successful completion.

**Tuya-Convert by default installs `sonoff-basic.bin` in order to have a small enough binary yet provide enough capabilities to initially configure the device. However, this firmware variant is very limited and doesn't support all of Tasmota's features. After Tuya-Convert completes successfully, it is recommended to upgrade to `sonoff.bin` via [OTA update](Upgrade)**
