The most general and useful in my opinion is www.cocoontech.com

Manufacturers' forums for PC-centric systems include:
www.homeseer.com
www.charmedquark.com

Forums for hardware (HAI-Omni, JDS-Stargate, UDI-ISY etc ) are also at the
respective manufacturers' sites

Exceptions are/may be ELK M1G hardware platform and Premise Systems
PC-centric software (abandoned by Motorola) which have considerable
traffic/support at www.cocoontech.com.
