Yes, on set it and forget it. Minisplits are best when there is a consistent draw. They do not have the "torque" of traditional HVAC, so it's harder for them to go up and down in temperature. Nevertheless, the savings are still great.
I disagree on the empty bedroom. You should be able to turn that unit off without ill effects elsewhere. That is one of the advantages of minisplits.
One other trick--the thermometer for a minisplit is up in the unit (7-8' off the floor!). This can create temp control problems. If it does, you can buy a separate thermostat. It's pricey, but it was worth it for one of our rooms.
Stay toasty!
