My plant is suffering and I don't understand why. Did I choose a wrong place? Too much water? I am trying to check water with an instrument.
I don't know if it is maybe too hot.
I have problems to attach pictures, the leaf are browing.

What plant do you mean?
Is it a white lily as in a Madonna Lily, Lilium candidum?
Are the symptoms just leaf browning?
Where is the plant located?
Those moisture meters aren't always reliable - the best way of telling whether the soil is moist enough is to poke your finger into the soil and feel how moist it is below the surface.
To attach a picture, click on the camera icon to the top right of the bit where you type your post and it will allow you to attach photos. Try reducing the file size if you still have problems.
I tried to taste the soil, the plant have always the leaf down and look unhappy.
It's in my bedroom that is located on a converted roof, and those days is very hot up there. Before it dies please help me to understand where to place her, shade, dark, indirect light and when to water her properly, how much water, if the plant release the water into the vase, it means she doesn't want water.
Thanks.

Your plant is a Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum), not actually a lily at all, but from the Arum family.
Keep it out of direct sun.
Peace Lilies need filtered light.
Keep moist at all times, but not waterlogged.
You could use a glass watering bulb to ensure that your plant has water as it needs it.
To keep humidity up around the plant keep the pot stood on a dish of moist gravel.
Feed monthly with a balanced liquid plant food.
Hope this helps.
