I don't see where you are attempting to add them. If you are trying to add the values from two separate messages then you have to first combine the two messages so that you get both values in one message. See this example in the cookbook [https://cookbook.nodered.org/basic/join-streams](https://cookbook.nodered.org/basic/join-streams)
