A method and apparatus for creating and managing a controller based remote solution is provided. The method comprises receiving, at a code virtualization server (CVS) from a graphical user interface (GUI), an input of a solution comprising a controller communicably coupled with and operable to control a sensor and/or an actuator, a condition at the at the sensor and/or the actuator, an action for execution by the controller upon the condition being met, and at least one parameter for the solution. A program (AGCP) for the controller is automatically generated on the CVS based on the input solution. The program comprises code to check if the condition is met, and to execute the action when the condition is met. The AGCP is downloaded to a storage on the user device, or sent to the at least one controller, for installation on the at least one controller.
