Hi Slangley,

Adding the answer for the above ques:

Step1: Need to create a thing and enable it. use the below service for the same:

var params = {
name: 'Thingabc'/* STRING */,
description: undefined /* STRING */,
thingTemplateName: 'ProjectTemplate' /* THINGTEMPLATENAME */,
tags: undefined /* TAGS */
};

// no return
Resources["EntityServices"].CreateThing(params);

Things["vc"].EnableThing();
Things["vc"].RestartThing();

Step2: Then use a service to bind this thing to a project as shown below:

var params = {
searchExpression: 'Thingabc' /* STRING */,
types: 'Thing' /* JSON */,
tags: undefined /* TAGS */
};

// no return
Projects["ProjectName"].AddEntities(params);
