Pick a side, is my advice. Either heat or cool. Don't let the system try to choose.

I don't have an Ecobee thermostat, but my Carrier thermostat has an "auto" setting that does not allow you to set the heat and cool settings to be less than 4 degrees apart. So, if the cool setting is 78 degrees, the heat setting must be 74 degrees or lower. I use it all the time, but my house has never smelled like dirty socks.
