Maybe if you see the temperature dropping at night to 75 or below, it might be a chance to turn off the air conditioner. If I don't turn off the air conditioner it runs all night every half hour or so. Also my bills have been twice as much in June and July

The Ecobee has a setting for how the fan operates. It can be set to run the fan at least xx minutes per hour, even if no AC is needed. There are arguments pro and con, but most HVAC techs say that isn't necessary, and causes extra wear and tear plus wasted money.
Ecobee can be connected to your internet so you can make adjustments from anywhere. If you are gone for months (and have no internet service) perhaps you can talk to your neighbor and they will let you onto their network.
