Finding neighbours on my LAN

Hi,

I'm trying to find all my computers on my home network (ip addresses are
assigned using DHCP, can't change that).  So far these are my attempts:

  $ ip neigh | grep REACHABLE | grep <mac_address>

But this seems rather unrealiable.  Often the reported addresses are not
up to date (e.g. offline devices still show up, or newly connected
devices are missing).  I also tried nmap with the DHCP ip range:

  $ nmap -sn 192.168.1.65-150

But that is too intensive (I intend to run this from a script in a cron
job from time to time); also I do not know how to get the mac_address so
that I can identify which device it is.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,
