Are the door sensors redundant on the 737, or do the crew and pilot just check different readouts of the same?

One flight attendant physically closes and arms the door, so it is in automatic mode such that the slide will deploy if its opened, then a separate flight attendant physically checks that it is closed and armed. I have no information the sensor redundancy, but the physical checks are redundant.
