Is this best practice: use an action to refresh properties

I implement a new thing that provides some information like firmware version, ip-address, etc.
My idea was to make this information available as properties. But since they rarely change, I don’t want to start a network call every x seconds to read this information. They are read during initialization. But they should be able to be updated (if the user wants). Is the “ThingAction” suitable for this?

I think it’s good idea to use action Send command or Run rule with refresh of the item state.
