It's official. I can wire X10.

Did any new standard supplant X10 in this field?

Isn't this basically an electrician with knowledge of niche product availability?

I can't imagine this qualifies you to build and install a soffit-mounted machine and code up some custom serial control. That's a service I would pay for.
