Be careful with that one, some of these modules don't like measuring their own supply voltage and give funny readings.

You can get a nice thermometer that does inside, outside with a probe you stick on the back of the bumper, and a voltmeter for about £12 off eBay, they must be cheaper from a market stall.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

type voltmeter thermometer in the search box.

I found item 180850108218 for £5.99, so I've just sent for one ;)

I'm hoping it will sit in that cubby next to the clock, but it might be too big.

There are other types though.

Don't know about that, but the one I have is working just like it should. I have checked the reading with a multimeter...
