Yes, you can add your Chromecast back to your Google Home app. It's a straightforward process, and you don't necessarily need to perform a factory reset.
Follow below steps to re-add your Chromecast:

Open the Google Home app on your phone and go to Devices tab. Make sure you're signed in with the same Google Account you used before.
Tap the '+ Add' icon (in the bottom-right corner).
Select 'Google Nest or partner device'.
Follow the on-screen instructions. The app should automatically search for devices that are ready to be set up. Your Chromecast, since it's no longer linked to a home, should appear in the list.
Select your Chromecast from the list of available devices.
Verify the code. Your TV will display a code, and the Google Home app will ask you to confirm that it matches. This ensures you're connecting to the correct device.
Continue with the setup to assign it to a room and complete the process.

If for some reason the Google Home app doesn't find your Chromecast, you can try the following:

Make sure your phone and the Chromecast are on the same Wi-Fi network.
Reboot the Chromecast. Unplug the power cable from the Chromecast, wait for about 30 seconds, and then plug it back in.
Reset Chromecast. Press and hold the button on the Chromecast until the light starts blinking, then release it when it turns solid white.
