Will a self watering pot work for a succulent?

I’m going away on a trip in July and was wondering if my succulents would be fine in a self watering pot like the one I made? Would they get too much, too little, or enough water?  
Soil is a cactus and succulent mix with perlite, plant shown is a “Shooting Star” sedum. It’s in a room with an east facing window.
