Almost definitely. I immediately got one for my mom and she just loves it when the house warms up before she wakes up, when the birds chirp (over the stereo) over the stereo as she comes downstairs in the morning, as the northern loon calls exactly at sunset (over the stereo), and a bunch of other goofy stuff. Not to mention the full-on security system that sends email pictures of intruders when it's set off. If you have a temperature sensor and a relay getting rid of Nest can be pretty easy and cheap with Home Assistant (for the DIY-inclined) as well [1].
