If they are in same LAN next to your device (no router/switch in the middle, The scope of ARP is link-layer.) you should use sending ARP packets to devices.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a telecommunications protocol used for resolution of network layer addresses into link layer addresses.

To send ARPs you can use Pcap or SendARP.
