Add scope-id and group SAS key to lines 22 and 23 of opcua-client.py

scope_id = "<Put your scope id here from IoT Central Administration -> Device connection>"
group_symmetric_key = "<Put your group SAS primary key here from IoT Central Administration -> Device Connection -> SAS-IoT-Devices>"

python opcua_client.py

To stop

Ctrl-C the python processes in there respective shells. This is no glamour code!

Dump nodes hierarchy

To export the list of nodes to a JSON file in a compatible format for the IoTC Industrial ADT tool (https://github.com/iot-for-all/iotc-industrial-adt) run the OPC-UA client in this way:

python opcua_client.py --dump <FILE_PATH>

This will not run the client process and exits immediately after producing dump file.
