It sure is -- I'd buy that immediately.

The nice part about it is, if their "cloud" services actually added value, I'd be happy to sign up for that too.

I just want a direct access and a fall-back if their cloud goes offline (and I read about that happening in the reviews of every single one).

And sure, we're a subset of the market, but I'd expect a sufficiently large subset to make it worthwhile.

If it was a really good unit with high-quality sensors, WiFi connectors and other components, I'd pay more than for a Nest.
