I'm looking for find a way to get device name and type like ESET Connected Home Monitor .

Eset : Connected Home Monitor can help identify vulnerabilities in your home network such as open ports or a weak router password. It also provides you with an easy-to-access list of connected devices, categorized by device type (e.g. printer, router, mobile device, etc.)

Eset Connected Home Monitor

And this app can find device type as well you see in this image . it can find and and differentiate mobile devices , printers , pc and modems .

How can i find device type in linux terminal without install nmap and other similar tools from it ip address ?

I try to use host command but it does not give the desired results .

    I'm pretty sure you can't. the software you are comparing to likely has a mac address OUID database, scans for common services, and performs basic OS fingerprinting of the IP stack, which are all things that nmap does, but no single utility built into most distros would be capable of.

  • First using arp command find mac address of device . if these equals with first three octets of mac address of tp-link modems, then it will understand that device is tp-link modem. is right ?

  • yes, but a lot of devices will have nics built by manufacturers that are not the same as the brand of the whole device (an MSI laptop might have a nic from realtek), and there are lots and lots of nics out there using unregistered OUIDs, and MACs are often admin configurable or randomly generated. its a place to start, but provides extremely limited capabilities, leaves you with unanswered questions, and requires a lot of manual work. seriously, just download nmap. thats probably what eset did.
