The wall slot is an energy management switch that drops non-critical circuits when the card’s out; our 2021 retrofit cut guestroom kWh about 22% and reduced PTAC runtime and lamp hours — less wear and easier preventive maintenance. Anyone else implement these and have brands that held up over a few years?
