baby movement monitors, sound monitors
Answer
If your going for a movement monitor, AngelCare is the absolute best! It has a bunch of different really cool features and works really good. Mine came with two receivers, both cordless with their own recharging stands. They tell the room temperature right on the receiver and you can set it so that if the temp changes so many degrees and alarm will go off. Another really great feature that I love is that you can shut off the sound coming out of the hand held receiver, but it turns on as soon as the baby makes any noise. I'm a sound sleeper and it takes a lot to wake me, so I have to have the volume turned way up on the receiver. With most monitors, having the volume way up, you hear a loud white noise. Being able to turn on the feature means that there is no white noise, but when the baby makes noise it's still loud enough to wake a deep sleeper up.
There are still a few other features that are nice. And it's pretty easy to use. You should take a look at it. I did pay somewhere around $150 for mine though, so you'd have to be willing to put in the investment. Which was definitely worth it!
ETA: This is the one I have:

I actually still use it with my 15 month old, movement sensor and all. I have no false alarms even with her moving off the center of the mattress. I don't really need the movement monitor anymore, I'm kind of over that anxiety, but I just haven't un-hooked it. Plus, it will be nice if (more like when) she learns to escape from her crib.

Answer
Well keep in mind that babies need to be a bit warmer than us. So if your room is just a bit warm, baby should be completely comfortable. You could always lower the temperature in your room if the heat is the reason it's so warm, or turn on the air conditioner to help cool it down. You can crack a window or turn on a fan. And you can always dress the baby in less clothing. He doesn't have to be in multiple layers all the time. If a onesie is enough for him to be comfortable, that's fine. If you really don't want him in your room you can always put him in his own room and just put a baby monitor near him.
