I don't think that constants are parsed for conditions. Try something
like this instead:

Constants:
--------------------

default_template = fileadmin/xpressxperience/template.html
template_1 = fileadmin/xpressxperience/home.html

Setup:

--------------------

templateFile = fileadmin/xpressxperience/template.html
[globalVar = TSFE:id = 286]
templateFile = fileadmin/xpressxperience/home.html
[global]

Incidentally, if the page with id=286 is the root of the website, you
can try a different kind of condition (that will not require fixing if
the root page of the site ever changes):

[treeLevel = 0]
templateFile = fileadmin/xpressxperience/home.html
[global]
