Missing mmwave_control_command options (trying to Generate Interference Area)

Product Support Hardware & Firmware Help

I am having trouble issuing the command to Generate Interference Area with my Blue series mmwave dimmer switch.

Initially after bringing into ZHA, I didn’t even have any command options for cluster 0xfc32 I would also note that the label for Cluster 0xfc32 was “ManufacturerSpecificCluster” instead of “InovelliVZM32SNMMWaveCluster” like is shown in the documentation. Following instructions to install the custom ZHA quirk fixed this, however while I do see the mmwave_control_command option under cluster 0xfc32 now, I do not see the command 0x0001 to generate the interference area (shown in screenshot).

I have also seen instructions to set parameter 111 to achieve the same, but I must be slow because I cannot figure out how to do this on a Zigbee device.

Try setting control_id to 1 and and then cliking “Issue Zigbee command”.

I tried this and I do see the Occupancy switch to Clear for a moment but then reverts back to Occupied a moment later and remain.

Were you able to get this working? I can’t find any documentation on how to do this in ZHA

Unfortunately not.

Even manually setting the mmWave Height to a zero value did not seem to mitigate the false positive from the ceiling fan. I’m beginning to suspect a firmware issue. I have a bunch more switches to install, but every room has a ceiling fan and unless this is resolved I’m not going to waste time installing a bunch more - will just have to RMA the lot.

I’ve had a ticket open for weeks and not having much luck getting a response. The support agent didn’t seem to have any experience with the product and told me he was very busy and would try to install one of the switches over the weekend to try to replicate the issue, but that was 2 weeks ago. I’m starting to get some serious Fyre Fest vibes lol…

Did you try using P111 to set the interference area? I have used that to exclude the ceiling fan motion interference. Not sure if you got setting that going.

Are you running the default firmware or the v3 beta? I’m considering trying the beta.

Still on default - I read in another forum there were some potential issues with HA 2026.2 and the blue series mmWave beta firmware (it COULD be just a breaking change on HA 2026.2 for ZHA or Z2M). Let me know if you do it and see any improvement though…

I have read that 100 times in the documentation. HOW to find the enumerated list of parameters is something I have been beating my head against the wall for days trying to figure out. I’m not sure if it’s possible using ZHA, and if it is I am too dense to figure it out. I spent the last few days playing with height settings, but even with a 1,-1 setting I am still getting false positives. I even tried setting the throw absurdly short and the fan still triggers Occupancy.
