An environmental monitoring system based on ZigBee wireless sensor network technology was researched in detail in this paper. Firstly, the technology working principle of ZigBee and its characteristics were introduced, and the characteristics of wireless sensor network and its application advantages were analyzed in comparison with the traditional network. Secondly, the overall scheme of the environmental monitoring system was researched, this system was mainly composed of hardware design, including the terminal node module and the master node module, and software design, and ultimately achieved the construction of the environment monitoring system constitute a based on ZigBee wireless sensor network. Finally, the practicality of the environment monitoring system and its corresponding characteristics were verified through the experiments of two stages.
