The intelligent agriculture is one of the applications of Internet of Things (IOT),which has an extensive application and bright foreground. ZigBee Alliance formulated the ZigBee standards in the wireless sensor network technology,that are recognized widely as authoritative standard of the Internet of Things, but ZigBee nodes, as the important unit of an intelligent monitoring system for agricultural environment, are the basic unit to realize the monitoring function. The paper briefly presents the architecture of ZigBee technology, designs the hardware architecture of ZigBee nodes on CC2531 (ZigBee coordinator and end node) and the software architecture of ZigBee nodes, and implements on botanical garden in QiongZhou University. The actual test result demonstrates that the nodes can obtain the temperature, humidity and illumination information in real time, and then transferred to the remote monitoring center. It has better actual application value.
