Sorry, but these nonsense systems are a pure money grab at the expense of guest comfort - plain and simple. Especially in certain climates, they wind up baking guests in their own beds and flat out ruin any hopes of a decent night's sleep for some of us. I recently had a long-term contract in Miami, and these contraptions were installed at some point during my tenure there. It very quickly became a standing requirement that this be disabled in every room I checked into at my normal property. And I'm otherwise normally a church mouse of a guest on nearly all fronts.
