Yikes - deleted camera by mistake in app, don't have access to physical camera (but its on/connected

[NearlyThere]

Hi - I deleted a nest camera (outdoor/battery) from the Google home app by mistake while it was offline. So it did not factory reset. The camera came back on, shows green light, is connect to my WiFi (I can see its IP on my router), I can ping it, just can't access it via the app because it got removed. Is there any way to have to re-instated without me having physical access to it? (its around 24-30 feet up). 

FWIW, I went through the support route and they said they can't help (escalated it as well). With the camera pingable and active just not linked to my account, I am hoping there is really at least some github project that I can look at?

Thanks.

Try these steps:

1. Open the Google Home app.
2. At the top left, tap Add + > Set up device > New device > set up new devices in your home.
3. Follow the in-app steps.

If these steps above don’t solve the issue, you will need to factory reset it and set it up again.
