We needed a design for a network end node which to be used for implementing a wireless sensors network, with the role of making intelligent an office building.The automation process supposes to monitor different ambient parameters values and also to control the existent systems (e.g.airconditioning, heating, ventilation).This paper presents the research work done for determining the best suitable node design necessary for our purpose, the node device developed as a result of this research, the tests accomplished with it and possibilities of optimization.The main characteristics of the proposed node design are: easily implementable at a low cost, modular, could be easily adapted for different types of applications and it has a small physical size.
