I just want to confirm that all information to and from the hub happens via the cloud, so once configured, codes will work as stored; however any programming against on user x unlock do y, will not work without the cloud connection? Does this all sound about right.

Yes the driver requires internet connectivity for that type of programming.

Note though if you use the driver to change codes the codes are stored in the lock itself so if you do lose internet or mains power the codes will still open the door.  It will just not operate any automation tasks that you have programmed against the user.

Hope that answers your question
