Earlier quoted context omitted.

I tried both the built-in wifi and a Realtek dongle

Does the RPi Zero have onboard wifi? ( https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-zero/ ) It sounds like your realtek dongle may not support monitor mode.

The RPi Zero W does (https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-zero-w/). I haven't tried the Zero W yet, but I have tested the Pi 3.

trackerjacker also provides a simple python plugin system that makes it trivial to extend to do all sorts of interesting things (e.g. to look for anomalous wifi devices). One of my original use-cases was to trigger my sirens if a security camera detected motion (based on a data thresholds that uploading a video triggers). I demoed this at Thotcon and DEFCON this year and will be demoing it at Derbycon in October.

This is convenient! I was just thinking I want to build a funny way of letting me know someone was added to my local network by playing a wolf howl on my sonos speaker. I'm guessing this is possible with Trackjacker.

You can do it with openwrt too. Simply add a hook to dnsmasq when a new IP is assigned.
