On my android smartphone I have assigned following Tasmota commands
http://192.168.178.91/cm?cmnd=Power%20on
http://192.168.178.91/cm?cmnd=Power%20off
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 the second ON does not 
send again the command to the device but reads the answer page from buffer 
showing the previous answer instead of executing switch on.

Therefore to send a second ON I always must terminate Firefox first, f.e. by 
removing all apps from memory, and then the second ON icon touch will work.

What can I do to send the command to the Tasmota device even if there is 
already an answer page in cache?

ChatGPT suggested to add something like Date.now() to the URL to make the 
call unique so that no cache copy can exist, but how can I add this into the 
icon's command line?
ChatGPT adviced me to create a new HTML file with JavaScript code in it, but 
while calling this file the command was executed properly it didn't work 
when the HTML file was assigned to an icon via "add to start screen".

I simply want to touch the ON and OFF icons without having the need to 
cancel Firefox first. How can I do that?
