Do you have some kind of system in place already that stores this data in a database somewhere when a user returns home? This is quite a vague question.

If you don't have anything currently in place I suppose you could create some kind of device in the vehicle that connects to your home wifi and updates some kind of asset storage system.

Do you have any further information?

I've had good experiences with the "Automatic Pro". You install the device in your car and then you can ask Alexa "Ask automatic where is my car."

Hello! To retrieve a list of vehicles in your garage, you'd likely need access to the garage management system's API, if available. Check with the provider or explore their documentation for API options related to accessing user vehicle data. Hope this helps!

Yes, indeed! To retrieve a list of vehicles in a user's Garage Door, you can utilize the Garage API or a similar endpoint specific to the platform you're working with. Check the documentation for the platform or service you're integrating with for the most accurate and detailed information.
