Hi devs,
I hope you can help me with this. It is probably something stupid. I added 2 devices of the same type with a different api key and both need to have a crontask which runs every 5 min. With 1 device there is no problem and with 2 devices , the latest is running twice and 1st I don’t see it anymore
thanks

Instead of this:
```auto
task.on('run', () => this.pollSeverCloud(settings))
```
Can you try this:
```auto
task.on('run', settings => this.pollSeverCloud(settings))
```

thanks, almost there but that is already better.
only need to solve that it updates the right device. I see 2 times plant 1 instead of also 0 with 1
Do I need to add more like add device to the crontask.
thanks again.

So even though both `run` handlers run “inside” of device 1, you get the settings for device 0 in one handler and for device 1 in the other handler?

correct
all is in plant 1 , settings is from plant 0 and 1 of plant 1

That’s very strange, because it would mean that the `run` handler for one task is _also_ being called for the other task.
Out of curiosity, can you try this code? I assume that you’re running firmware v2, which I’m not, so can’t test myself:
```auto
const Homey = require('homey');
module.exports = class MyApp extends Homey.App {
async onInit() {
this.log('MyApp is running');
const task1 = await this.task('task1');
const task2 = await this.task('task2');
task1.on('run', settings => {
this.log('RUN#1', settings);
});
task2.on('run', settings => {
this.log('RUN#2', settings);
});
}
async task(name) {
try {
return await Homey.ManagerCron.getTask(name);
this.log('YES', name);
} catch(e) {
this.log('NO ', name);
return await Homey.ManagerCron.registerTask(name, '* * * * *', { name })
}
}
}
```
(run that instead of your normal `app.js`)

Okay, that looks like a bug to me! It’s triggering `run` on the second task only.
