+## Requirements
- The Alexa Smart Home API requires your Home Assistant instance to be accessible from the internet via HTTPS on port 443 using an SSL/TLS certificate. A self-signed certificate will work, but a certificate signed by [an Amazon approved certificate authority](https://ccadb-public.secure.force.com/mozilla/IncludedCACertificateReport) is recommended. Read more on [our blog](/blog/2015/12/13/setup-encryption-using-lets-encrypt/) about how to set up encryption for Home Assistant. When running Hass.io using the [Duck DNS](/addons/duckdns/) add-on is the easiest method.
