That's essentially the system I use. I have it set to turn the furnace on for an hour in the morning right before I wake up. Other than that, I manually set the temperature when I'm at home over the course of the day. It automatically resets at noon, 4pm, and 11pm back to 63 degrees, so if I don't turn it off before leaving, it'll still reset pretty soon.
