One home. Every screen.

This isn’t a mock-up — it’s the real interface running against a simulated house. Tap, drag and explore. Everything you change appears on every device, exactly as it does in a client’s home.

DayNight

Automatic by design

Light by day.
Dark by night.

Every screen in your home follows the sun. Bright and warm while it’s light out; easy on the eyes after sunset — with your room photographs switching to their evening versions too. Nobody has to touch a setting.

Follows sunrise & sunset — calculated for the Lower Mainland, so it’s right all year, not just on the equinox.
On every device — phone, wall tablet and TV change together.
Pin it if you like — day, night or auto, per screen.

Designed around you

Your rooms. Your photographs. Your words.

Every dashboard we deliver is built for the home it lives in. We start from how you live and what you asked for — and the interface reflects it down to the last room tile.

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY

Every room, in your own photos

We photograph your home and build each room tile from your pictures — with a daytime and an evening version, so the interface always looks like your house.

YOUR SCENES

Scenes named the way you say them

“Movie night.” “Dinner’s ready.” “Goodnight.” One tap sets the lights, the blinds, the music and the heat — tuned to your routines, not a template.

YOUR SPECS

Built to your brief

Tell us what matters — the devices you own, who uses which screen, what should never be fiddly — and we design the layout, controls and colours around it.

Sample rooms from our demo home — yours will use photographs of your own.

Keypads & switches

Light switches, reimagined.

Elegant keypads in every room — one press sets a scene, dims a zone or lowers the shades. Every button is laser-etched with the words your family actually uses.

Choose a style

A keypad for every room — and every scene.

From a simple lighting-zone keypad to a full scene controller. Each one is programmed to the lights, scenes and shades you choose, and the legends are etched to your wording.

Etch your own labels

Type what each button should say. The legends are laser-etched into the keys, so they never fade, peel or wear off.

Press the buttons — they run the sample home in the live demo.

The handheld remote

Everything in one hand.

A specialized remote that controls your audio-video equipment, your home automation — and answers the front-door intercom. Real buttons you can find without looking, plus a screen for everything else.

Watch TV in one touch
TV, receiver and streamer switch on together and land on the right input. Sound modes and volume stay in your hand.
Lights, scenes and rooms
Dim the room, run “Movie night” or check the whole house — without hunting for a phone.
Answer the front door
The door camera appears on the remote’s screen. Talk to the visitor, or let them in — from the sofa.

Why Quintessential

Calm technology, built to last.

We design systems that stay out of the way: fast, local, and free of the small annoyances that make smart homes feel like a hobby.

Runs in your home

Your lights, blinds and heating are controlled from inside your house — not by a company’s server that could change its mind.

Nothing that expires

No vendor accounts to log into, no developer-mode renewals, no apps that quietly stop working. It just keeps working.

Designed for your home

Your photographs, your room names, your scenes and colours. A tailored interface, not a stock template.

Looked after remotely

Improvements reach your screens within minutes over a secure connection — and we’re a call away when you want something changed.

On the big screen

The whole house, on your TV.

Rooms, lights, music, cameras and the front door — right on the TV you already own, built to be steered with the remote in your hand. It turns light by day and dark at night, all by itself.

The TV home screen in the evening: rooms, modes, what’s playing and the weather — **Home · evening**Every room, mode and what’s playing — at a glance

The TV home screen in the morning, in the light theme — **Home · morning**The same screen in daylight — it follows the sun

The TV audio page: pick the rooms, then a playlist or radio station, with the Now playing panel — **Audio · evening**Choose the rooms, choose the music, with Now playing alongside

The TV audio page in the light theme — **Audio · morning**Playlists and local radio — one press to play

Room control on the TV: lights, blinds, thermostat and the receiver for the living room — **Room control**Lights, blinds, heat and sound for one room

The front-door camera popping up on the TV while a streaming app is open — **The door camera**Someone rings — the camera appears over whatever you’re watching

How it works

From first conversation to “how did we live without it?”

Walk-through

We visit, listen and map how you live — which rooms, which devices, and what you’d love to do with a single tap.

Design

We design your dashboards: your photographs for every room, scenes named your way, colours to suit your home — and show you before we install.

Install

We wire and configure everything — lighting, blinds, climate, AV, cameras, the door intercom — and mount your tablets, TV box and remote.

Look after

Updates and tweaks arrive remotely, within minutes. No site visit, no app updates, no logins to remember.
