It exists diferent ways to communication between add-ons or home-assistant inside Home-Assistant.
## {% linkable_title Network %}
We use a internal network. That allow to speak with every add-on or from Home-Assistant to add-on by name or alias. Only the a add-on they run on Host network are a bit limited. They can speak with all internal add-ons over there name but all other add-on can't speak with the add-on name to this add-on, but alias work wheel. So use the name/alias to communicate inside Hass.io
i.e. use `hassio` to speak with internal API.
## {% linkable_title Home-Assistant %}
A Add-on can speak to [Home-Assistant API][hass-api] with our internal proxy. That make it very easy to speak to this API without you need know the password, port or any other information for the Home-Assistant instance. Use this url: `http://hassio/homeassistant/api` and they will internal redirected to the right place. As next add `homeassistant_api: true` to `config.json`.
It is also possible to speak direct to Home-Assistant instance with name `homeassistant` over our internal Network. But you need know the running config.
## {% linkable_title Hass.io API %}
