    to 2 icons namen ON and OFF to switch a Tasmota device on and off by a
    single icon touch only.

    This works very fine, except that the device's answer page is buffered in Firefox, and when I switch ON and OFF and again to ON ....

    Try appending a time-stamp to the URL, led by a question
    mark. It's a typical web programming trick.

    http://192.168.178.91/cm?cmnd=Power%20off?2026071612121211

    Notice the part "?yyyymmddhhmmss": yyyymmdd is date,
    followed by "hhmmss" which is time.

    I know this trick, but I don't know how to implement in a one-liner.

    Getting this timer value needs a javascript function, but this can't be
    called in the command line, and even ChatGPT could not serve with a few
    lines html-code solution without additional dependencies. In Wndows I could construct such a command line even simply in .bat files, but AFAIK Android
    has not such ones.
