Can someone please explain me something about LUA in Fobaro scenes?

 

It's about this simple code below.

I understand that:

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger(); means that the trigger for a scene comes from a fibaro asset, in this example a variable and a value of a motion sensor.

Then comes the trigger from the if and statement, but what is this or statement of startSource["type"] == "other" ? what does this do?

 

Even when I create a manual scene then this startSource["type"] == "other" appears in the lua code when create the scene using blocks and then convert it into lua?

The source type of "other" is used when starting a scene manually.  I guess it's just the required LUA syntax.
