Everything y'all have said is all well and good but waiting for my fiber kit to arrive to hook up my internet and servers and learning how to configure all the nuances of a thermostat were at the bottom of my priorities.
I just needed the damn thing to work and it didn't because it was "too smart for me"
As for the prior owner settings you missed the part where i factory reset it and it turned on that eco shite by default as well as a default schedule that can't be deleted and the stupid hidden sensors low battery alerts can't be dismissed from the "windows has crashed" white screen even though I have the app now on my phone and dismissing the notification there does nothing to the units.
I still have to get up and walk over to it and physically dismiss the white "windows has crashed" screen only for it to come back 15 minutes later.
Nice.
Stupid shite is stupid. I've been looking at white screens on the thermostats 75% of the time since I've moved in. That should go away when you dismiss the notification on your phone at least.

I've seen the shite you've set up on here with far more complexity than a simple Ecobee, it's not "too smart" for you, you're just being impatient and ornery.
In the time you took to compose the above posts you could have just gone down the list of options and set them to your liking as well as done a quick Google to see what sensors you have.

Previous owner should have factory reset all devices but then we'd miss the monthly technology pokes CAD in the eye thread.
