The Ozeki 10 Robot Operating System is a great messaging platform to setup communication between humans and devices. It is a fantastic tool for creating high performance business messaging solutions, and an outstanding system for controlling robots and industrial equipment.
In Ozeki 10 every entity that can accept or send messages is called a connection.
To communicate with people you can send messages through these connections. For example you can send an SMS through a GSM modem connected to the PC (we call this SMS modem connection), or you can send an SMS through an SMPP SMS connection through the Internet (we call this SMPP SMS connection).
To control devices you also have to send messages to connections. For example to turn on a motor you will send an "on" text message towards a motor controller connection. To read temperature data, you will send a "read" text message to a temperature sensor connection, which will reply with a "25 degrees" response message.
The Ozeki 10 platform will make sure your messages are routed to the appropriate destination efficiently. The following list contains all the connections currently availabile in Ozeki 10. This list is growing rapidly. If you need a connection, not listed here, please let us know. We will do our best to include it in the next release.
Human communication
SMS / GSM modem
Modems are reliable devices for SMS messaging. The connection can send and receive SMS messages at a fast rate and handle delivery reports. It is recommended for all of our SMS enabled applications, such as Ozeki SMS Gateway, Ozeki Bulk Messenger or Ozeki SMS Wall. It can also be used to notify system administrators about server failures with Ozeki Cluster or about electricity failures with the Ozeki Power Monitor application.

APIs / Connections for Push Notifications
Ozeki
The Ozeki Notification is a message that pops up in the user's webbrowser, which is capable to run on almost every device. Notifications are 'pushed' from the Ozeki 10 server towards the user, who should be running an Ozeki 10 client in their webbrowser. Push notifications are activated on the targeted user's device. All the time a message is received by the Ozeki Push Notification connection, it will pop it up on the recipient's webbrowser.

Google
With this notification service you can send push notifications to your Android application using Firebase Cloud Messaging. These notifications allow your users to opt-in to timely updates and allow you to effectively re-engage users with customized content. These notifications can be switched off by the Android user, although it can be very useful to receive server status or power down notifications from Ozeki 10.

Apple
The connection is based on the Apple Push Notification service (APNs), which is the centerpiece of the remote notifications feature. It is a robust, secure, and highly efficient service for app developers to propagate information to iOS (and, indirectly, watchOS), tvOS, and macOS devices. If a notification for your app arrives with the device powered on but with the app not running, the system can still display the notification.

SSH client
If you already know PuTTY, which is a very popular SSH client, you should easily use this connection. Ozeki 10's SSH client is an easy to use connection. The difference is that Ozeki SSH client is not command prompt based. It allows you to connect to a remote host and execute commands through a Secure Shell. It also supports password and private key based authentication, such as RSA or DSA. By routing a connection to it, you can send and receive messages via SSH. You can see the message by checking the Event list.

TXT File
The text file messaging configuration makes it easy to send and receive messages using text files. When incoming messages arrive, Ozeki creates a text file for each message in your incoming directory on your hard disk. If you would like to send a message all you have to do is place a text file into the outgoing directory. To sum it up, there are 5 directory types you can manage: 'Inbox', 'Outbox', 'Sent', 'Not sent' or 'Delivered'.
