Adding EAP235-Wall(EU) 1.0 to Festa Cloud

Hello everybody,
I have an EAP235-Wall(EU) 1.0 updated with latest firmware downloaded from TP-Link site.
I am trying to import it on my Festa Controller. When I click 'Add Devices' and insert its serial, it returns me the error 'This device is not in the allow list'.
But when I check the list of compatible devices with Festa Cloud I am able to find it (hw version 1.0).
Is there something I am missing or doing wrong?
Thank you for your support!

EAP235-wall belongs to Omada product line. Festa is a different product line.
You can't manage Omada products with Festa Controller.
How many EAP235-wall do you have in total?

Hi, thank you very much for your answer.
In total I have 4 EAP235-Wall.
The first two I bought were Omada devices. I registered in Omada, but I found out that in order to manage them with Omada I had to buy licenses. I preferred not to do that, so I configured just accessing them via IP address and I am still managing them this way.
6 months later I had to expand my network, so I bought 2 additional EAP235-Wall and I referred on the same Amazon product code which I purchased before. But when I received them, I found out that they weren't Omada devices, but Festa devices and they couldn't be configured by IP address access (or at least, I was not able to do that) but only through Festa controller. So I set up my Festa account and configured them.
What is now disappointing to me is that even if I bought the same devices, I can't manage them with only one application, whatever is Omada or Festa. It seems to me that in that 6 months time, TP-Link changed the products so from one day to the following, you couldn't choose to get another Omada device or Festa device.
Maybe my understanding is wrong, but now I have to solve this: I need to manage them with a single application and of course Festa would be my preference. Is there a way to do that?
It would be disapponting to know that in order to do that I have to discard the first 2 Omada EAP235 I purchased, to replace them with 2 new Festa ones.
Thank you for your support,
Kind regards

The EAP235-wall has always been part of the Omada product line and has never changed. You might have purchased the wrong product?
Additionally, you can install the Omada Controller free of charge to centrally manage Omada devices.
Could you show me the labels of your 4 APs? I’ll then provide the most suitable solution accordingly.

Hi @Vincent-TP,
the point is that after buying the first and second EAP235, the Amazon code of this product became unavailable so I had to find another AC1200 on Amazon and found it. The name was the same (AC1200), every technical detail was exactly the same so I couldn't be aware that it was a different product (I just found out that the name EAP235 became Festa F52). Moreover, only 3-4 months passed between the purchase of my second (Omada) and third (Festa) device, so when I received my first Festa I was really surprised and someway disappointed that I couldn't configure it just accessing it via IP address. Now, I have checked on Amazon and still the EAP235 Omada is not available for purchase, only the Festa F52, like at that time it was suddenly discontinued and today I don't have the possibility anymore to set an Omada based system with 4 EAPs.
Anyway... see here below the lables of my 4 AC1200.
What can I do to manage them together?
I understand I can't manage the Omada ones with Festa. Can I manage the Festa ones with Omada?
How can I use the 'offline' version of Omada, since it is not worth for me to pay for licenses because I don't necessarily need the cloud based version, I can use the local one. PS: I am Mac OsX user.
Thank you very much, have a nice one
