So there is no tool which can tell me device type based on ip address??

learn how ip addresses work and what they actually do, then youll have a better understanding. theres no need to ask a question again after its just answered.

Use nmap to scan IP.
Try
nmap --help
OP Faith is correct, if you simply ran wireshark or Tshark and find the MAC address of a device the first three octets (e4:f9:59) will help you identify the device, literally a google search away. If you want to be noisy then nmap the network, if you want run p0f. But just from the IP that is some movie shit.
