The note should explain why 50kHz is recommended when the sensor supports up to 100kHz. Consider revising to: 'The sensor supports I2C bus frequencies up to 100kHz. ESPHome's default frequency is 200kHz, which may cause reliability issues. Setting the frequency to 50kHz (well below the maximum) ensures stable operation.'

As far as I know the default is 50kHz? Where do you see a default of 200?

I just see there in the logs from some esp device. Maybe this is the default in some sensor library. Lets change the notes as needed.

[nitpick] Consider adding a comment in the YAML example explaining the frequency value, such as frequency: 50000 # 50kHz - recommended for AM2320 reliability

Suggested change
frequency: 50000
frequency: 50000 # 50kHz - recommended for AM2320 reliability
