Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for creating custom user interface ('UI') controls. A networked computing service may determine that an action performed by a user of the service is likely to be repeated, based on previous actions performed by the user and/or other users, parameters of the action including characteristics of an item associated with the action, and other criteria. The networked computing service may generate, or recommend generation of, a custom UI control that automates performance of the action. The networked computing service may automatically determine parameters of the action, and may determine alternative parameters and/or alternative actions if the action cannot be performed using the determined parameters. Custom UI controls may be associated with various computing devices and/or other electronic devices, and categories of custom UI controls may be determined and displayed.

Utilizing the disclosed techniques, automatic item replenishment decisions may be made based on whether or not an item entirely fits on/in an automatic replenishment device (ARD). For example, sensor data associated with an item and an ARD may be received. The sensor data may indicate that an initial amount of the item is in contact with the ARD. A measurement value may be calculated that quantifies the initial amount of the item that is in contact with the ARD. Subsequent sensor updates may be monitored to determine various amounts of the item that are in contact with the ARD. Based at least in part on the measurement value and the monitoring, it may be determined that a surplus amount of the item exists that is external to the ARD. Decisions on whether to generate an automated order for the item may be based on the existence of the surplus amount.
