In order to answer this question we must all understand what the organs are that make up the endocrine system. The hypothalamus is the master control found in the brain at the base of the optic chiasm. The hypothalamus releases a hormone in the pituitary gland, controls the blanace of water, sleep, temperature, appetite, blood pressure and such. There is much more but that is a start.....

Hormones!

homeostatic conditions also vary across the body - for example, a high acidic level must be maintained in the stomach, this level is maintained by the hormone Gastrin, which is released when the stomach is stretched by food, this hormone targets the production of HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) in the stomach

Another, possibly the most important homeostatic condition is water, which can be maintained by the hormone ADH (anti-diuretic hormone) which controls how permeable the distal convoluted tubules and collecting tubules are, the increase of permeability makes the water that would usually go straight into the urine go back into the body, this lowers water loss and increases urine concentration. this hormone is only released when the body is dehydrated, but when the body has too much, this is removed from the body and most of the water that would be reabsorbed into the body is just removed in the urine.
Hormones send messages to different organs and organ system to turn on/off speed up/slow down activities of those tissues
This is the main way we maintain homeostasis actually, since the endocrine system releases chemicals known as hormones. These hormones are sent via the blood to specific spots in the body to control things like blood sugar, heart rate, etc.
