Ambitious First Timer!!

Please excuse my naivete' on this request for information. I've always been the type to jump into big projects, and then work to figure them out.
I would like to monitor several kitchen devices. Each device will have a normal operating envelope (ie, temp, time, cycles/sec, etc.). I am looking to write a program that monitors all of these devices, and determines when any preprogrammed combination of parameters exceeds a maximum threshold, or falls below a minimum threshold.
Then, when the program determines that a threshold has been exceeded, I want it to inform me remotely via a phone call and internet/wifi/email so I don't have to stay at home. In addition, I would like to build in an emergency feature, which will alert 911, that certain parameters exceeded safe thresholds, just in case, for example, something inside the oven catches on fire.
I'm a complete newbie. What's the hardware board/chip best recommended to do this, and is MicroPython able to process this? Also, I have a very small kitchen, and not much storage space, so smallest footprint and low heat signature would be ideal.
Thanks in Advance!!
