Glen, thank you for writing back. Yes, I had it as service, not driver. So
I have installed everything from scratch...

raspbian stretch minimal image file copied to SD card
sudo raspi-config (to enable 1-Wire)
wget -qO - http://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo apt-key add -
wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx.list | sudo tee
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install weewx
sudo apt-get install lighttpd

and then the steps in https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/owfs
that is...
wget
http://lancet.mit.edu/mwall/projects/weather/releases/weewx-owfs-0.21.tgz
sudo apt-get install python-ow
sudo wee_extension --install weewx-owfs-0.21.tgz
sudo reboot

192.168.1.2/weewx correctly shows the Simulator website

Only problem is that now...

sudo PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python /usr/share/weewx/user/owfs.py
--iface localhost:4304 --sensors

is not producing any output but error:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python
/usr/share/weewx/user/owfs.py --iface localhost:4304 --sensors
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/weewx/user/owfs.py", line 618, in <module>

    ow.init(iface)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ow/__init__.py", line 224, in init
    raise exNoController
ow.exNoController

I have edited weewx.conf to change Simulator to OWFS but still the same
error. So I must be doing something wrong this time. Please, any tip is
welcome. Thank you once more for your support.
