This paper presents the design and implementation of a novel Internet of Things (IoT) device, called MEIoT weather station, which incorporates an exogenous disturbance input, within the National Digital Observatory of Smart Environments (OBNiSE) architecture. The exogenous disturbance input involves a wind blower based on a DC brushless motor. It can be controlled, via Node-RED platform, manually through a sliding bar, or automatically via different predefined profile functions, modifying the wind speed and the wind vane sensor variables. An application to Engineering Education is presented with a case study that includes the instructional design for the least-squares regression topic for linear, quadratic, and cubic approximations within the Educational Mechatronics Conceptual Framework (EMCF) to show the relevance of this proposal. This work\u2019s main contribution to the state-of-the-art is to turn a weather monitoring system into a hybrid hands-on learning approach thanks to the integrated exogenous disturbance input.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21051653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,27]],"date-time":"2021-02-27T20:55:44Z","timestamp":1614459344000},"page":"1653","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Implementation of a MEIoT Weather Station with Exogenous Disturbance Input"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0743-842X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"H\u00e9ctor A.","family":"Guerrero-Osuna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad Acad\u00e9mica de Ingenier\u00eda El\u00e9ctrica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Zacatecas, Zacatecas 98000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7095-9984","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis F.","family":"Luque-Vega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n, Innovaci\u00f3n y Desarrollo Tecnol\u00f3gico CIIDETEC-UVM, Universidad del Valle de M\u00e9xico, Tlaquepaque 45601, Jalisco, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4618-4004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miriam A.","family":"Carlos-Mancilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n, Innovaci\u00f3n y Desarrollo Tecnol\u00f3gico CIIDETEC-UVM, Universidad del Valle de M\u00e9xico, Tlaquepaque 45601, Jalisco, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8019-8755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gerardo","family":"Ornelas-Vargas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad Acad\u00e9mica de Ingenier\u00eda El\u00e9ctrica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Zacatecas, Zacatecas 98000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9971-3219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V\u00edctor H.","family":"Casta\u00f1eda-Miranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad Acad\u00e9mica de Ingenier\u00eda El\u00e9ctrica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Zacatecas, Zacatecas 98000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8148-3600","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roc\u00edo","family":"Carrasco-Navarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Physics, ITESO AC, Tlaquepaque 45604, Jalisco, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Qadir, J., and Al-Fuqaha, A.
