 ## Version Management
 
 Update the integration version in `custom_components/immich_album_watcher/manifest.json` only when changes are made to the **integration content** (files inside `custom_components/immich_album_watcher/`).
+**IMPORTANT** ALWAYS ask for version bump before doing it.

 A Home Assistant custom integration that monitors [Immich](https://immich.app/) photo/video library albums for changes and exposes them as Home Assistant entities with event-firing capabilities.
 
-> **Tip:** For the best experience, use this integration with the [Immich Album Watcher Blueprint](https://github.com/DolgolyovAlexei/haos-blueprints/blob/main/Common/Immich%20Album%20Watcher.yaml) to easily create automations for album change notifications.

 | Albums | Albums to monitor | Required |
 | Scan Interval | How often to check for changes (seconds) | 60 |
 | Telegram Bot Token | Bot token for sending media to Telegram (optional) | - |
+| Telegram Cache TTL | How long to cache uploaded file IDs (hours, 1-168) | 48 |
+
+### External Domain Support
+
+The integration supports connecting to a local Immich server while using an external domain for user-facing URLs. This is useful when:
+
+- Your Home Assistant connects to Immich via local network (e.g., `http://192.168.1.100:2283`)
+- But you want share links and asset URLs to use your public domain (e.g., `https://photos.example.com`)
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. Configure "External domain" in Immich: **Administration → Settings → Server → External Domain**
+2. The integration automatically fetches this setting on startup
+3. All user-facing URLs (share links, asset URLs in events) use the external domain
+4. API calls and file downloads still use the local connection URL for faster performance
+
+**Example:**
+
+- Server URL (in integration config): `http://192.168.1.100:2283`
+- External Domain (in Immich settings): `https://photos.example.com`
+- Share links in events: `https://photos.example.com/share/...`
+- Telegram downloads: via `http://192.168.1.100:2283` (fast local network)
+
+If no external domain is configured in Immich, all URLs will use the Server URL from the integration configuration.

 **Parameters:**
 
 - `limit` (optional, default: 10): Maximum number of assets to return (1-100)
+- `offset` (optional, default: 0): Number of assets to skip before returning results. Use with `limit` for pagination (e.g., `offset: 0, limit: 10` for first page, `offset: 10, limit: 10` for second page)
 - `favorite_only` (optional, default: false): Filter to show only favorite assets
 - `filter_min_rating` (optional, default: 1): Minimum rating for assets (1-5 stars). Applied independently of `favorite_only`
 - `order_by` (optional, default: "date"): Field to sort assets by
   - `"date"`: Sort by creation date
   - `"rating"`: Sort by rating (assets without rating are placed last)
   - `"name"`: Sort by filename

 The service downloads media from Immich and uploads it to Telegram, bypassing any CORS restrictions. Large lists of media are automatically split into multiple media groups based on the `max_group_size` parameter (default: 10 items per group).
 
+**File ID Caching:** When media is uploaded to Telegram, the service caches the returned `file_id`. Subsequent sends of the same media will use the cached `file_id` instead of re-uploading, significantly improving performance. The cache TTL is configurable in hub options (default: 48 hours, range: 1-168 hours). The cache is persistent across Home Assistant restarts and is stored per album.
