## Host Control (HC)
This is a daemon running on the host machine that allows the supervisor to control certain aspects of the host OS:
- Power cycle (restart, turn off)
- Manage network settings
- Local updates
## Host
Our pre-build images are based on [HassOS] which is based on [BuildRoot]. Any Linux machine can be turned into a Hass.io host by running [the installer][linux].
## Supervisor
The supervisor offers an API to manage the host and running the Docker containers.
## Configuration panel
The configuration panel lives inside the supervisor but is accessible via the Home Assistant user interface. The configuration panel allows the user to manage the installation.
