+# External Session Management
+
+## Overview
+
+The `python-openevse-http` library now supports passing an external `aiohttp.ClientSession` to the `OpenEVSE` class. This allows you to manage the session lifecycle yourself and share sessions across multiple API clients.
+
+## Benefits
+
+- **Session Reuse**: Share a single session across multiple OpenEVSE instances or other aiohttp-based clients
+- **Custom Configuration**: Configure session settings like timeouts, connectors, and SSL verification
+- **Resource Management**: Better control over connection pooling and resource cleanup
+- **Integration**: Easier integration with existing applications that already manage aiohttp sessions
+
+## Usage
+
+### With External Session
+
+```python
+import aiohttp
+from openevsehttp import OpenEVSE
+
+async def main():
+    # Create your own session with custom settings
+    timeout = aiohttp.ClientTimeout(total=30)
+    async with aiohttp.ClientSession(timeout=timeout) as session:
+        # Pass the session to OpenEVSE
+        charger = OpenEVSE("openevse.local", session=session)
+
+        # Use the charger normally
+        await charger.update()
+        print(f"Status: {charger.status}")
+
+        # Clean up
+        await charger.ws_disconnect()
+        # Session will be closed by the context manager
+```
+
+### Without External Session (Backward Compatible)
+
+```python
+from openevsehttp import OpenEVSE
+
+async def main():
+    # The library creates and manages its own sessions
+    charger = OpenEVSE("openevse.local")
+
+    # Use the charger normally
+    await charger.update()
+    print(f"Status: {charger.status}")
+
+    await charger.ws_disconnect()
+```
+
+### Sharing a Session
+
+```python
+import aiohttp
+from openevsehttp import OpenEVSE
+
+async def main():
+    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
+        # Use the same session for multiple chargers
+        charger1 = OpenEVSE("charger1.local", session=session)
+        charger2 = OpenEVSE("charger2.local", session=session)
+
+        # Both chargers use the same session
+        await charger1.update()
+        await charger2.update()
+
+        await charger1.ws_disconnect()
+        await charger2.ws_disconnect()
+```
+
+## API Changes
+
+### `OpenEVSE.__init__()`
+
+```python
+def __init__(
+    self,
+    host: str,
+    user: str = "",
+    pwd: str = "",
+    session: aiohttp.ClientSession | None = None,
+) -> None:
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `host` (str): The hostname or IP address of the OpenEVSE charger
+- `user` (str, optional): Username for authentication
+- `pwd` (str, optional): Password for authentication
+- `session` (aiohttp.ClientSession | None, optional): External session to use for HTTP requests. If not provided, the library will create temporary sessions as needed.
+
+### `OpenEVSEWebsocket.__init__()`
+
+```python
+def __init__(
+    self,
+    server,
+    callback,
+    user=None,
+    password=None,
+    session: aiohttp.ClientSession | None = None,
+):
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `server`: The server URL
+- `callback`: Callback function for websocket events
+- `user` (optional): Username for authentication
+- `password` (optional): Password for authentication
+- `session` (aiohttp.ClientSession | None, optional): External session to use for websocket connections. If not provided, a new session will be created.
+
+## Important Notes
+
+1. **Session Lifecycle**: When you provide an external session, you are responsible for closing it. The library will NOT close externally provided sessions.
+
+2. **Backward Compatibility**: This change is fully backward compatible. Existing code that doesn't provide a session will continue to work exactly as before.
+
+3. **Websocket Sessions**: The websocket connection will also use the provided session, ensuring consistent session management across all HTTP and WebSocket operations.
+
+4. **Thread Safety**: If you're using the same session across multiple OpenEVSE instances, ensure you're following aiohttp's thread safety guidelines.
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+If you want to migrate existing code to use external sessions:
+
+**Before:**
+```python
+charger = OpenEVSE("openevse.local")
+await charger.update()
+```
+
+**After:**
+```python
+async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
+    charger = OpenEVSE("openevse.local", session=session)
+    await charger.update()
+```
+
+No other changes are required!
