There are three functions added for JSONata expressions within the Home Assistant nodes.
$entity()
returns the entity that triggered the node$prevEntity()
returns the previous state entity if the node is an event node$areaDevices(areaId)
returns all devices associated with a specific area ID.$areaEntities(areaId)
returns all entities associated with a specific area ID.$area(lookup)
returns an area based on a provided lookup value, or all areas if no lookup value is provided. The lookup value can be an area ID, an entity ID, or a device ID.$deviceEntities(device_id)
returns all entities associated with a specific device.$device(lookup)

Expose Lodash functions
$sampleSize(collection, [n=1])
https://lodash.com/docs/#sampleSizeGets n random elements at unique keys from collection up to the size of collection.
$randomNumber([lower=0], [upper=1], [floating])
https://lodash.com/docs/#randomProduces a random number between the inclusive lower and upper bounds. If only one argument is provided a number between 0 and the given number is returned. If floating is true, or either lower or upper are floats, a floating-point number is returned instead of an integer.
When JSONata appears in the conditional dropdown it expects the expression to return a boolean, true or false.
When it is chosen with a conditional, not JSONata it will return a value of the evaluated expression that will be checked against the conditional chosen.
