Create n things, remote things and bind properties by code

Is it possible (and, if so, how) to create things and remote things by code?

I have thing template "SimulationTemplate" which has 3 properties: Prop1, Prop2, Prop3
I want 25 things called "Simulation-TH_1"... "Simulation-TH_25" and 25 remote things "Simulation-RT_1"..."Simulation-RT_25" and I want the properties to be bind.

How can I do this by code instead of doing it one by one?

Yes it's possible.

To create things:

Resources["EntityServices"].CreateThing({ name:, description:, thingTemplateName:,tags:});

To Bind remote properties:

me.SetRemotePropertyBinding({...});

To Bind local properties:

me.SetLocalPropertyBinding({...});

Thank you.
And what about for duplicate?
If I want to duplicate 50 times my Thing called TH1 to "TH2"..."TH50" is it possible to do it by code?
Because I've seen CloneThings but it doesn't seem to work

For this, CloneThing should do the trick, but I never used it ( I don't like Copy&Paste when programing )
