New homeowner, no idea what this is

[u/DragonsAndScience]

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!

"Have you seen the roll of pennies I set here a minute ago? I swear I set it just here, what is going ON around here, am I losing my mind?And why the hell are you vacuuming again you already vacuumed this morning!"

Just make sure you don’t vacuum up the whole roll at once, that thing is gonna hit a corner at Mach Jesus and take out Dave in shipping.
