Heathkit has one that looks simple to operate and does all that you ask and
more.  It can tell you about temperature, power outages (I think), and
even let you listen in on the room where this monitor is for unusual sounds.
I'm at work, or I'd be able to give you the product name and contact info ...
send mail for more info.
