Only passively by looking at the Ethernet AC addresses in traffic, and only if traffic from the devices passes the capture point.

Wireshark is a packet analyser, and as such, isn't the tool for this task.

Maybe you could advice which protocols could solve discovery task? Like UPnP, or Bonjour services
