Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are characterized by presenting the sensor node architectures highlyconnected to the application tasks given that those applications requirements may vary considerably, it is very common to have WSNs implemented on heterogeneous platforms. This feature means that these networks present heterogeneous platforms in order to meet the different applications requirements. Despite this heterogeneity in the sensor nodes' architecture in order to facilitate the application programming a homogeneous API to the WSN should be defined.

This article proposes a RTSJ-based API for sensor networks which deploys at the embedded of the sensor node using PaRTiKle Operating System. As use case, an application with different nodes on a heterogeneous network is proposed.
