That is not a bug.. It's a well documented incompatibility.  In fact,
on the ADI site (Webtech, and ordering site, it states right next to
the part number * not for CO use*)  So if you missed that - you're the
bug.  2 wire smokes can not be used on expanders either - is that a
bug too?

Your what list?  Bassshit list?  Post the vinegar here and let the
experts analyze your 'list'.  I'll bet most can be crossed off because
you didn't RTFM.
