When I press either of my cover action buttons, I get the desired result (light off or on; power off or on), the first press of either button returns the http response data and displays it on the cover, but pressing either of the cover actions after the initial press, the response message is not displayed - why is this response text not repeatable?, what do i need to do so that each time a cover action is pressed, I get the response text displayed.

I think Timer may have something to do with the problem, or does it?,

Here's my code so far;

Code:

        CoverAction {
            iconSource: "image://theme/icon-cover-location"
            onTriggered: getData();

            function getData(url) {
                var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
                var url = "http://192.168.1.201/cm?cmnd=rfkey1"

                xhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
                    if (xhttp.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
                        console.log(xhttp.responseText);
                        mainText.text = xhttp.responseText;
                    }
                };
                xhttp.open("GET", url);
                xhttp.send();
            }
        }
    }
    Label {
        text: ""
        id: mainText
        x: Theme.paddingMedium
        horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter
        font.pixelSize: Theme.fontSizeExtraSmall
        width: parent.width -x*2
        anchors {
            bottom: cover.bottom
            bottomMargin: Theme.paddingLarge*4
            horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
        }
        Timer {
            interval: 5000; running: true;
            onTriggered: mainText.opacity = 0.0;
        }
    }

What @coderus said and to explain further the opacity is never set back to 1.0 so it will never return to be visible.
