There doesn't seem to be a node of that name ?  
How did you install this ?

That is NOT a node red node, so nothing would show in node red.

Available NR nodes can be found here [https://flows.nodered.org/](https://flows.nodered.org/)

Are you sure its not [node-red-contrib-pi-max31865](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-pi-max31865) ?  
(the 6 & 5 the wrong way around!)

Thanks for the cooperation,  
I talked to the local provider of Adafuit and agreed to replace max31856 with max31865 breakout.  
Thanks to everyone who dealt with my problem.
