The invention relates to an energy-saving 
dormancy awakening method based on a ZigBee technology. The method comprises the following steps that: S1, a coordinator node establishes a tree 
cluster type network; and a terminal node and a routing node are added into the network established by a coordinator; S2, the network is graded; 
time synchronization of a network node and the previous stage is carried out stage by stage; and finally, the whole-
network time synchronization with the coordinator is realized; S3, the terminal node and the routing node enter a working period; the terminal node performs acquisition and transmission of data; and the routing node forwards the data to the previous-stage node; S4, after receiving the data uploaded by the terminal node, the coordinator sends 
dormancy control information to the routing node; and the routing node forwards the 
dormancy control information to the terminal node; S5, the node receives a dormancy instruction, sets a dormancy 
time control parameter and enters a dormancy state; and S6, when the dormancy time is up, the node is synchronously awakened to add the network and then enters the working state. By means of the method, the 
energy consumption of the 
system can be reduced; the energy 
utilization rate can be increased; the use time of the 
system is prolonged; and simultaneously, the maintenance cost of the network can also be reduced.
