Using the fetched settings would need to be shifted from the ` __init__ ()` to `initialize()` method.

I’ve been trying to make the difference between these methods more clear in [the documentation](https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/skill-development/your-first-skill# __init__ ).

Let us know if that resolves the issue
