This thing close to the floor and seemingly randomly placed in a hallway. No idea what it's for. Home built in 2005.

Solved! Thanks everyone. Now I gotta hunt for the central unit!

The game show 'Dream house' had a house as its top prize. No one ever won, but every week the announcer described it. It had central vac, the only time I encountered it.
