Hi. Welcome to the forum.

Where are you checking?  
Did you add a debug node before to see if the msg has a value to store?

Which node? What is its name?

it's a "set item" node. I just want to store value in local storage but I don't know how to store using "set item " node.

Searching in the node red flows site [flows.nodered.org](http://flows.nodered.org) does not find any matches for set item, so we don't know which node you are talking about.

Is it a Home Assistant node? If so then you are probably asking in the wrong place. Try an HA forum.

I'm talking about this node "node-red-contrib-localstorage" which has "set item", "get item", "clear" etc. nodes.

Is there a particular reason you want to use that node, rather than use the Context facility built into the core of node-red? [Working with context : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/context)

I have no Idea about "context", I'll check about it if it is helpful or not.  
BTW Thanks for the suggestion.
