Here’s the thing though, any custom code run exclusively in the cloud, meaning any network issues render the keypad useless.
Having a keypad with delays native to it (ie, the Ring one) means that it’s more likely that the code will all be executed on the hub itself (provided ST/Ring allow that to be part of the API that is eventually integrated into ST).
Since the current official Ring integration doesn’t run locally, there’s no reason to think that a new ring device integration would run locally either.
Right now, the only code that runs locally are some specific stock device type handlers which are distributed to all customers in the hub’s firmware. Everything else runs in the cloud, even official integrations.
Continuing the discussion from What's the deal with Nest? :
Correct.
I was answering this question below in the global sense. i.e., There will always be the possibility of various benefits available to Official Device Handlers and SmartApps that are not available to un-certified Community Developed ones. At the moment, the local processing benefit is inapplicable to Nest in either case.
I’m not sure ST has guaranteed that community developed SmartApps/Device Types will be included in local processing right after certification. Yes, it may be included down the road, and this is not yet clear on how or what the process is to enable community developed stuffs to run locally.
.
Here is a list of the Device Handlers that are confirmed working with local processing (I personally tested that these show up in the “LocalDevice List”) as of Dec 8, 2017:
