I appreciate your effort but sorry: -I reported a bug for Linux and you link to an answer for Windows -You need "more information" but this issue can be replicated on any Debian installation on this planet. What kind of "more information" do you need? A video of someone dancing the problem in front of a van Gogh paining?

Sorry for that, I mixed the original and the WSL comment but there is still no need to be rude... To your problem:

• You should not use pip to install packages system-wide (e.g., using su(do)), but either use pip install --user or even better, virtualenv, to contain the install.
• If installed with --user, your ~/.local/bin/ should have the script, so if it's not working, maybe that directory is not in your $PATH?
• If installed within a virtualenv, the script is located under the bin directory.

$ cd /tmp
$ virtualenv venv
$ . venv/activate
$ pip install python-miio
<install logs>
$ which miiocli
/tmp/venv/bin/miiocli

Hello, I'm using archlinux and runing home assistant - with xiaomi_miio integration on a docker. Also the miiocli command it's not working. ( -bash: miiocli: command not found)

[syssi]

@rotrials HA core doesn't install the library system-wide. The library is accessible within the container. The bin directory of pip installs aren't part of the PATH per default. This is all fine. If you want to use miiocli as user please install python-miio locally by

pip3 install python-miio

You should find the executable (miiocli) at .local/bin/miiocli afterwards.

For the people which are reaching to this post, please use sudo pip3 install python-miio in case the command is not working:

If you write the full path in front of the command it should work nevertheless: ~/.local/bin/miiocli. Please think twice if you want to pollute your setup with global pip packages. I cannot recommend global installs.
