As a general trick, you can ping the broadcast and after a few replies check the arp cache.

ping -b 192.168.1.255
arp -a

Replace 192.168.1 with your network leaving the .255 (broadcast).

Of course, this assumes you know it’s IP.

Update: The reason you are pinging the broadcast is most devices will reply (instead of targeting one IP). If you know the OpenSprinkler IP you can use that instead.
