My Airmega 200M air purifier has four speed settings: useless, less useless, annoying and SCREAMING BANSHEE. I was able to connect an ESP8266 Arduino to the motor driver board and get direct fine-grained control of the speed over Wifi. I use this to modulate the speed based on my distance to the air purifier so I don't have to listen to it.

I use motion sensors to control the lights in my house, so my home automation system somewhat has an idea of what room I'm in. I use this data to control the purifier's speed based on how far away I am from it. If I'm on the same floor, it runs very quietly (~12% power). If I'm one floor away, it runs at 50%. If I'm two floors away (or I'm not home), it runs at 100%.
I live alone, but my automation system has a "Guest Mode" which prevents motion from turning lights off. If this is enabled, the purifier only runs quietly.

I didn't want to get a different air purifier that was smart and have to deal with some app or let another smart device onto my network.
