You can use all the fields our weather station library provides: https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station/blob/master/src/OpenWeatherMapCurrent.h That one in turn offers all the fields the OWM API makes available (unless we forgot to map some), see https://openweathermap.org/current#current_JSON.

In the master branch of that library there's also support for the OWM one-call API but that has not been released yet. See https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station/compare/v2.0.1...master for the delta between the latest library release and master.

So, once we release a new weather station library you can then adjust your app to (also) call the one-call API and use those extra fields.

P.S. You might have have seen screen images of the old app when we could still use the WU API. See https://thingpulse.com/hello-openweathermap-bye-bye-wunderground/ for why this is no more.
