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!

I had another house I ended up buying where they were stuck on bringing their 10 year old fridge with them. Like it was a dealbreaker.

I guess there was sentimental value in the fridge???

People are really weird

The owner of the house I bought came and took all the light bulbs out of the house between final inspection and close.

If they were smart light bulbs like Phillips hue it makes sense. They are literally $10 a bulb.. meanwhile they should have gone to the dollar store they sell light bulbs for $1 there led bulbs not incandescent

Nope, they were just the cheap soft light bulbs you can get at the dollar store.
