Reference Error: require is not defined…
The require npm model is loaded from the node_helper… I’m sure one of the REALLY great programmers here can point you in the right direction…

@prostko first of all you shouldn’t publish any password and usernames on github.
the module.js in your case conversation.js gets imported into the browser. The browser can’t handle require that’s a node.js only functionality. Did you check the development guide? https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules or try looking on other modules how they are constructed.

First - Thanks for taking the time to give it a look over.
Oops, you’re right… changing that now…
I’m checking out something that seems to be along the lines of what I’m trying to accomplish as well, https://github.com/dgonano/MMM-AlexaPi , which is just running the voice service on the mirror, as well as pouring over the Docs, but I seem to be unable to grasp the connection or purpose of the node_helper and module.js relationship.
Also, for (because of my) simplicity, I’d like to focus on sending the speech picked up from the mic into the Watson STT api.
You said that the browser can’t handle ‘require’, does that mean that node_helper is where we require things?
So, if I’m catching up correctly,
node_helper is where the requires happen(watson could service, npm mic…), the watson config(usrnme, psswrd, etc) to send along with the api request happens, and then finally the micInstance gets started, listening.
Then, the audio gets piped to the api, and the response generated (text) gets handed to the module.js (conversation.js) in the form of sendSocketNotification, and receivedSocketNotification, which will then turn around and resend that same text to all the other modules. -
Ok, so I’ve managed to get the magic mirror to recognize the new node_helper, and it will run on start of the Magic Mirror.

YES!
watson is listening on startup and and printing the text from speech into the console!!!
YESSSSSS -
@prostko glad you did it. keep in mind that someone can browse an old commit/state of the repo so i hardly suggest to change the password at the specific services.

Very nice. -
@strawberry-3.141 Oh crap, good call. Doing that now. Thanks again.
