True luxury doesn’t demand your attention—it earns your trust through silence, intuition, and elegance. The same principle applies to smart home control.
Imagine walking into your house and everything shifts to meet you—lights illuminate, music plays, the temperature adjusts, and shades settle into the perfect position. No tapping, no toggling. Just fluid, personalized comfort.
This is the magic of whole-home control—and Xssentials, Colorado’s premier home automation integrator, has perfected the art of delivering it. Their systems, built on leading platforms like Crestron Home, Control4, Savant, and JoshAI, provide homeowners with seamless access to lighting, audio, video, climate, shading, and security—all from a single interface or custom scene.
In this post, we’ll explore how whole-home control changes the way you interact with your space, and why Xssentials’ thoughtful, retrofit-ready approach is redefining what it means to feel truly at home.
What Is Whole-Home Control—and Why Does It Matter?
Whole-home control is the operating system for your environment. It’s what connects all your smart devices—your shades, music, climate, lighting, and more—and makes them work in harmony.
But beyond the convenience, great control is about how you feel in your home:
- Empowered instead of overwhelmed.
- Supported instead of distracted.
- Completely in sync with the space around you.
Xssentials delivers that experience by designing systems that don’t just work—they disappear into your day, responding intuitively to your lifestyle without constant management or visual clutter.
A Single App, a Unified Experience
With so many smart products on the market, homeowners are often left juggling multiple apps. One for lights. One for the thermostat. One for audio. It’s clunky—and far from luxurious.
Xssentials eliminates that friction with unified control platforms that bring every system into a single, beautifully designed interface. Whether you’re using Crestron, Savant, Control4, or JoshAI, you can:
- Adjust lights and shades together.
- Control audio and video across rooms.
- Check security systems and door locks.
- Trigger custom scenes for every part of your day.
All from one app, one remote, or even just your voice.
This is what real smart living looks like—not more apps, but fewer.
Scenes That Match Your Life
Scenes are one of the most powerful tools in a smart control system. They’re custom-configured commands that activate multiple systems simultaneously—designed around how you live.
Some real-world examples programmed by Xssentials include:
- “Morning Routine”: Gradual lighting, kitchen music, heating boost, and raised shades in the primary suite.
- “Après Ski”: Outdoor audio comes alive, lights dim, the fireplace flicks on, and security adjusts for guests.
- “Away Mode”: All lights off, shades down, thermostats lowered, doors locked, and cameras armed.
These aren’t just pre-sets—they’re lifestyle shortcuts that turn everyday moments into personalized rituals. And they can be triggered by:
- Voice commands
- A tap on your phone
- A custom wall keypad
- A touchscreen interface
- Scheduled automations
Xssentials makes the process of creating scenes simple and collaborative—so the technology always works your way, not the other way around.
Custom Keypads: Technology That Disguises Itself
Great design demands clean lines and subtlety—and few things interrupt that more than a wall full of switches and dimmers. Xssentials replaces that visual noise with elegant, designer keypads that consolidate control into a single, beautiful interface.
These keypads can be:
- Engraved with your most-used scenes (“Relax,” “Entertain,” “All Off”)
- Backlit for nighttime use
- Custom finished to match interior materials
- Installed wherever convenient—not just near the door
The result is a decluttered wall and an elevated user experience—where every button does more and every room feels cleaner, calmer, and more considered.
Invisible Tech That’s Always Available, Never Obvious
While many smart home systems draw attention to themselves with flashing LEDs or racks of gear, Xssentials believes luxury is about effortless invisibility.
That’s why their control systems are:
- Installed with flush-mounted touchscreens that blend into architecture.
- Powered by centralized hubs, not cluttered closets full of remotes.
- Accessed by voice or app, so controls don’t compete with design.
- Scalable from room-by-room to whole-home, without making your space feel like a control center.
Whether you want to highlight the tech or let it fade completely into the background, the choice is yours.
Choose the Platform That Fits Your Life
Not all control systems are created equal, and Xssentials works across the best platforms in the industry. Their job is to match the right system to your lifestyle, preferences, and aesthetic goals.

Control That Evolves With Your Home
Your needs today might not be the same five years from now—and your control system should be able to adapt.
That’s why Xssentials designs scalable systems that grow with you:
- Add new scenes as your family grows or routines shift.
- Upgrade your controls as new features are released.
- Expand to a second home or office with seamless syncing.
- Integrate future technologies without needing a full redesign.
Everything is modular, future-ready, and backed by a team who understands that luxury is timeless—but your life evolves.
Installation That’s Fast, Clean, and Construction-Free
One of the greatest barriers to implementing smart control is fear of complexity. Will my walls be opened? Will I have to rewire the house? How long will it take?
With Xssentials, none of that is necessary.
Their control systems are designed for post-construction installation:
- Minimal to no rewiring
- Fast turnaround (often within days)
- No drywall damage or invasive retrofitting
- Clean, professional installation with complete testing
Whether you’re moving into a new home or updating a cherished family retreat, the process is built around respect for your space and your schedule.
Support That Understands the Human Side of Smart Homes
Technology is only as luxurious as the support behind it. And this is where Xssentials truly excels.
Every control system they install is backed by:
- 24/7/365 remote support
- Proactive system monitoring
- Seasonal check-ins and scene optimization
