Checking if Node Red is Connecting to Home Assistant

Click on the small arrow. Then click on "context data" option then click on refresh on global context

You should see the homeassistant.homeAssistant in the global context If this is not there then then either there is a non default name ( In which case there is a change to be made ) or node red is not successfully connected to Home Assistant and seeing sensor data
