Smart LPG Safety Technology for Africa
Advanced monitoring systems that detect LPG leaks in real-time, protecting African homes and communities with intelligent, space-based technology.
Nigeria 2024: Over 100 casualties from household gas explosions. The House of Representatives has directed SON and Nigeria Customs to stop substandard cylinder imports. Cypherdev's systems detect leaks before explosions happen.
Engineering Safety. Protecting Lives.
Cypherdev is a technology company, based in Lugbe, Abuja, developing cutting-edge IoT and space-based monitoring systems web-based and mobile application for domestic LPG gas safety. We combine embedded systems, cloud connectivity, and data analytics to create solutions that address Africa's growing home gas safety crisis.
Our mission is to make smart LPG safety technology accessible and affordable for every home and business across the continent — from the urban apartment to the rural household relying on cooking gas.
Space-Based Monitoring
Satellite-assisted mass and leakage tracking for real-time gas level visibility from anywhere on earth.
Instant Notifications
SMS, push, and cloud alerts when gas levels drop abnormally or a leak is detected — warning users before disaster strikes.
Smart Dashboard
Real-time gauges display gas mass and leakage percentage on mobile and web — 24/7, from any device.
Certified & Compliant
Built in partnership with NASRDA. Systems tested for SON compliance, meeting Nigerian and international safety standards.
Technology That Saves Lives
Two core product lines built for Nigerian homes and businesses, combining hardware intelligence with cloud connectivity.

From Sensor to Safety
Our systems work silently in the background, monitoring your LPG cylinder around the clock and alerting you the moment anything goes wrong.
Place on Cylinder
The smart platform sits under your LPG cylinder. Load cells measure the cylinder weight in real time — tracking how much gas remains.
Sensor Detects Leak
A combustible gas sensor monitors the air around the cylinder for any LPG concentration above safe thresholds — day and night.
Instant Alert Sent
The moment a leak is detected, the onboard buzzer activates AND a cloud alert is sent to your phone — wherever you are.
Monitor on Dashboard
Track your gas levels, leak history, and system status on a live ThingSpeak dashboard from any mobile device or computer.
Built and Tested in Nigeria
Our prototypes have been physically built, tested, and reviewed at the highest levels — including an examination by the Director General of NASRDA.
Space-Based Combustible Gas Monitoring System
The physical system: an LPG cylinder mounted on a custom-designed weighing platform, paired with a gas sensor module. The ThingSpeak cloud dashboard drives intelligence for gas mass and leak percentage both in real time. Initial design fee: gas mass at 10.25 kg and a leakage percentage gauge in real-time.
LPG Measurement & Leakage System with Notification
Project 1 — the compact notification unit (blue platform) demonstrated to officials. The system accurately identified low gas mass and potential gas leaks on both device and cloud alerts on leak detection.
Gas Stove Integration Unit
A prototype integrating the monitoring electronics directly into a domestic LPG burner unit — demonstrating how our technology can be seamlessly integrated into existing appliances for domestic safety.
Monitor Gas Levels
From Anywhere
Our systems stream data to ThingSpeak — a cloud-based IoT analytics platform. Users see live gauge readings for both gas mass (in kg) and leakage percentage directly on their smartphone or browser, with historical charts and alert logs.
Backed by Nigeria's Space Agency
Cypherdev's space-based monitoring system was developed in collaboration with the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) — Nigeria's premier space research institute. The system was personally examined and formally endorsed and reviewed by NASRDA Director General as part of the agency's 2025 Strategic Initiative.
R&D Collaboration
Our LPG monitoring and satellite data testing was developed with support from NASRDA's strategic R&D roadmap through the 2025 Strategic Plan.
DG-Level Review
Real prototypes — including the LPG mass and Deep Learning Surveillance unit — were formally reviewed by the NASRDA Director General Committee.
Space Technology Integration
Our systems leverage satellite connectivity and space-derived data for wide-area leak detection — inclusively addressing a critical safety crisis.
National Safety Impact
Partnership aligns with the Nigerian government's directive (initiated under SON's anti-substandard cylinder campaign) to address home LPG fatalities.

Warning Signs Every Family Must Know
Our systems handle detection automatically — but knowing the manual warning signs can save your life until help arrives.
Rotten Egg Odour
LPG is colourless but suppliers add mercaptan. Any sulphur smell indicates a potential leak — treat it as an emergency.
Orange or Yellow Flame
A healthy gas flame is blue. Orange or yellow indicates incomplete combustion — possible contamination or leak.
Hissing Near Cylinder
Any hissing or whistling from the cylinder, regulator or hose means pressurized gas is escaping. This is an active leak.
Soapy Bubble Test
Apply soapy water to all connections monthly. Bubbles forming confirm a gas leak. Test performed by professional engineers.
Emergency: What To Do If You Smell Gas
Evacuate everyone immediately — do not use cellphones
Do NOT switch any electrical device on or off
Turn off cylinder valve if safely reachable
Open windows and doors so you leave
Call fire service from outside — never re-enter closed
