I honestly had no idea that a wall-switch timer that met my requirements even existed - I just
happened upon it while browsing at the local Home Depot.  The timer I found not only
automatically adjusts for changes in sunrise/sunset over the course of the year, it also
automatically adjusts for DST and has a "random" function that shifts the on/off times by up to
twenty minutes to avoid making the lights look 'automated'.

In any event, I'm glad to have looked into the X10 stuff, but I think it's just too complicated
for what I was looking for.
