Updating from version 1.x.x to version 2.2.15 or newer

The data structures have changed in versions 2.2.15 from the data in versions 1.x.x.

Message payloads from version 2 have the following data structure, where decoded is the transmitted message:

{
  "packet": {
    "from": 1234567890,
    "to": 9876543210,
    "channel": 0,
    "decoded": {
      "portnum": 5,
      "payload": {
        "errorReason": 0
      },
      "wantResponse": false,
      "dest": 0,
      "source": 0,
      "requestId": 2345678,
      "replyId": 0,
      "emoji": 0
    },
    "id": 56789012,
    "rxTime": 45678901,
    "rxSnr": 0,
    "hopLimit": 3,
    "wantAck": false,
    "priority": 120,
    "rxRssi": 0,
    "delayed": 0
  },
  "channelId": "LongFast",
  "gatewayId": "!abcd1234"
}

Note that packet.payloadVariant is no longer available. Decoded payloads are now available in packet.decoded, which retains the same data as payloadVariant in a different structure
