miplug discover throws exception

Running miplug discover results in exception:

miplug discover

    miio.Plug.discover()
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'discover'

Same error happens on android (termux, python 3.6.5), raspberry pi (Python 3.5.3), and macos (Python 3.6.5).

I tried removing the released pip version and installed instead from master with

pip3 install git+https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio

but still getting the same error.

Reproducible with current master: fb595be

You should prefer the miiocli command as miplug is deprecated, see miiocli plug --help for help.

Regarding to this issue, I took a peek and to my understanding miio.Plug is not a function but a class -- @syssi, do you have an idea why this is happening?

edit: Actually checking it again, it seems obvious that the deprecated decorator causes this problem, but what's the best way to fix it is unknown.

@rytilahti: miiocli plug does not have a discover option. Does it mean it has been removed?

I currently have to rely on arp -an | grep <mac-address> to get the IP of the plug. I was hoping I could get this info from discover. Is there some other way to find the IP? Since it is assigned via DHCP it keeps changing so I cannot hardcode it, also cannot configure a permanent IP for the MAC address since my router does not provide this feature.

Also, I seem to be getting incomplete output from miiocli:

# miiocli plug --token <PLUG_TOKEN> --ip 192.168.1.100 status
Power: True
USB Power: None
Temperature: 41 °C
Load power: None
WiFi LED: None

Both USB power and main power are on, but miiocli plug only shows the value for Power. Is this a bug or am I missing something? (if you can confirm this is bug then I'll clean up this thread and file another defect.)

[syssi]

Both are missing features of the miiocli. It should be possible to select the correct device model at the CLI and we should provide the discover feature. Please create two additional issues. Thanks for your support!

@syssi: created the following issues:
#344: miiocli plug does not show the USB power status
#345: miiocli plug does not have a discover option
