Hi all,
It is awesome that the USB supplied power and LIPO supplied power is all taken care of on the ESP8266.
I have a requirement to detect when I loose USB power (mains power) and action an alert.

Can anyone advise a simple way to do this?

I was hoping to achieve this without any additional circuitry/board modifications.
