Set context on Google Actions through Dialogflow fulfillment

I'm using the Dialogflow editor fulfillment to build a conversation on Google Assistant, but I'm not sure how to use the agent.setContext function. When I ask "Turn off my device" the first step returns successfully. The problem happens when the user responds with "TV", for example. The system returns with another context, ignoring the one I set. When the user directly asks "Turn off my TV in the kitchen" the system also works perfectly. Because of it I think that the entities are correctly defined.

Conversation 1 (success):

Conversation 2 (fail):

My code:

The code below is nested in exports.dialogflowFirebaseFulfillment = functions.https.onRequest and the intent is called by intentMap.set('smarthome.device.switch.off', setDeviceOff); 

const agent = new WebhookClient({ request: request, response: response });

function setDeviceOff(agent) {
    const device = agent.parameters.device;
    const room   = agent.parameters.room;
    const context= 'device-switch'; //I tried 'smarthome.device.switch.off' too
      let resp = commandDevice(device, room, 'Off', agent, context);
      return resp;
}

function commandDevice(device, room, cmd, agent, context) {
    var conv = agent.conv();
    if(device===''){
        conv.ask("OK, which device?");
    }else if (room===''){
        conv.ask("Got it. of what room?");
    }else{
        conv.ask("Right. Turning off.");
    }
    agent.setContext({
        name:context,
        lifespan: 5, //Tried 0, 4 and 3 too
        parameters:{
            'device':device,
            'room':room
        }
    });
    agent.add(conv);
    return true;
}

So I tried another version and the same problem persists:

const app = dialogflow();
app.intent('welcome', conv =>{
   conv.ask("Welcome to auto obari. What can I do for you?"); 
});
app.intent('Default Fallback Intent',conv =>{
   conv.ask("I didn't understand, can you try again?"); 
});
app.intent('smarthome.device.switch.off', (conv,{device, room})=> {
    const context= 'device-switch';
    if(device===''){
        conv.ask("OK, which device?");
    }else if (room===''){
        conv.ask("Got it. of what room?");
    }else{
        conv.ask("Right. Turning off.");
    }
    const parameters = {'device':device, 'room': room};
    conv.contexts.set(context, 5, parameters);
});
exports.dialogflowFirebaseFulfillment = functions.https.onRequest(app); //I tried exports.factsAboutGoogle, but it threw a error too.

The intent

The contexts are the same, but the intent is different. The contexts are the same, but the intent is different.

you can try this method too it worked for me

const AppContexts = {CONTEXT_ONE: 'context-one'};
const app = dialogflow();

In current intent (for output context)
conv.contexts.set(AppContexts.CONTEXT_ONE, 1);

In next intent (for input context )
const context = conv.contexts.get(AppContexts.CONTEXT_ONE);

If using conv, you may also try like this:

app.intent('<INTENT>', conv => {
  conv.ask('<RESPONSE>');
  const parameters = {'param1':param1, 'param2': param2}};
  conv.contexts.set('welcome-context', 5, parameters);
});

and access it like here :

const conv.contexts.get(<context>).parameters[<param>];
