I am thinking of purchasing a HomeKit compatible water leak detector for the basement. I am considering sensors that do not require a hub. If such a setup sits idle for a long time, would the iOS HomeKit app or the leak detector app itself offload and become useless after a period of no-leaks/no-activity?
iPhone XR
This feature can be turned off / On....
Leak detector app (If it is a third party app) will surely get offloaded if not used for more than 12 days.

Offload ("undownloading")Apps --> Happens automatically, when an app remains in your device unused for more than 12 days the app is offloaded automatically but the App data remains.

You can make storage space available on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you use iCloud Photos and turn on Optimize Storage. Or you can remove content from your apps—like photos, music, and Podcasts—or delete the apps that you're not using.

(Refer Pic 1}Thanks for the prompt response. So there is no way to deactivate the automatic offload for "select" apps? That is, the option selection works either for all apps together or none?
Do HomeKit & Integrated Sensor Apps Offload Automatically?
