Yeah that’s the odd part, you’re not the only one confused: You’ll have to add a “new” Homey, in order to be able to connect to your owned Homey which is _in recovery mode_.  
In the end, no new Homey is added, you’re just having your owned Homey available in the app again.

Maybe this part of the howto is not clear enough?
