Or IF they will be available again...
After the last firmware I can say that the stability issues of the tags have been solved, so in my opinion they could sell them again.
Some friends of mine would like to buy a welcome camera only if the tags become available again and I guess many other people may do the same.

An official statement from Netatmo would be appreciated, could someone from Netatmo please clarify? Thanks

I did ask Netatmo on twitter and got this response:
@chrisridd Thank you for your message Chris. Our teams are working hard to resart the production as soon as possible. Sign up for our newsletter to stay tuned: (Netatmo's website)
I don't know why it is hard to restart (sic) production unless there was some hardware change involved too, but who knows?

Is stable connection is confirmed for old tags?
This point is ver important for me as I can still purchase
locally old (produced some time ago) tags and my setup is require at least 20 meters.

What sort of connection do the Tags use - just wifi to the same network as the Welcome, or do they use something directly (like bluetooth) to the Welcome?

As far as I know Tags use proprietary RF protocol to connect to Welcome camera.

That is interesting, I think you're correct about the direct RF connection. Perhaps that is being changed which is why they are so slow to return on sale?
