Hello, I am trying to send data to the Watson IoT Platform, but am having some difficulty having the data parsed correctly? I have created a very simple flow to simulate temperature and humidity as follows:

The data is seen by Watson with the following payload:
When I try to add a dashboard gauge, the event name, temperature or humidity values are not available.
If I simulate the device using the watson system, it generates the following payload:
The event_1 and randomNumber fields are then available when I create a gauge card?
It would appear as though my message being sent from NodeRed is not being recognised as a JSON object when it arrives at the Watson platform. All of the info I can find on the internet seems to be out of date and using an older "wiotp out" node??
