Add a "not recommended for Zigbee networks with more than 20 devices" note to both CC2530 and C2531 in README.md
ZHA / zigpy developers elected to not whitelist "TI CC2531" USB adapter ZHA discovery due to its older less powerful hardware:
home-assistant/core#55298
Zigbee2MQTT as well added "not recommended" notes to both CC2530 and CC2531 in their official supported adapters list:
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/supported_adapters
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/supported_adapters#notes
Adapters based on the CC2530 or CC2531 chip are not powerful and not recommended for networks larger than 20 devices.
Also, Zigbee2MQTT / zigbee-herdsman developer Koenkk noted Z-Stack 3.0.x firmware is not recommended on C2530/C2531:
https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware/tree/master/coordinator#im-using-a-cc2530-or-cc2531-which-firmware-should-i-use
I'm using a CC2530 or CC2531, which firmware should I use?
This depends:
