What is the difference between tuya adapter and KINCONY ESP32 TUYA IOT ADAPTER V2 RELEASED?

[admin]

different appearance, V2 not support by WiFi, only support RS485.
suggest you add V1 adapter for controller.
V2 main function see the webpage: https://www.kincony.com/esp32-tuya-iot-adapter-v2.html

But in this video ➡️https://youtu.be/rPmSf_mqeYc?si=3UB9TwEVfj_ZVvAC

Explained that there is an option to use the tuya adapter V2 with wifi.

I got mixed up!!

I would like you make this point more clear !

default have not weld the IPEX antena socket, if you want to use wifi, you can open the blue plastic shell, weld the IPEX socket, conenct with a extend wifi antena, then it can work by Wifi.

HI,
I have two h32Ls with long range modules and a first model COL at home.
How and what do I need to update?

[admin]

add one tuya adapter, so that can use tuya app and voice control by alexa or google home speaker.

Is just one Tuya adapter enough for all my devices?
However, I have all the serial ports occupied and the controllers connected via LAN.

[admin]

use one tuya adapter for your one H32L relay controller, COLB not need tuya adapter.
tuya adapter connect to your router by wifi, will send command by network, so you not need connect any cable with your H32L relay controller, only need set H32L ethernet work mode = TCP Server.
