If you want to focus on demand then ui-select offers event broadcast support also. You need to put broadcast event name in focus-on attribute of ui-select and brodcast that event by $scope.$broadcast(...)

<ui-select focus-on="UiSelectDemo1" ng-model="ctrl.person.selected" theme="select2" ng-disabled="ctrl.disabled" style="min-width: 300px;" title="Choose a person">
    <ui-select-match placeholder="Select a person in the list or search his name/age...">{{$select.selected.name}}</ui-select-match>
    <ui-select-choices repeat="person in ctrl.people | propsFilter: {name: $select.search, age: $select.search}">
        <div ng-bind-html="person.name | highlight: $select.search"></div>
          <small>
            email: {{person.email}}
            age: <span ng-bind-html="''+person.age | highlight: $select.search"></span>
          </small>
    </ui-select-choices>
</ui-select>

Call $scope.$broadcast('UiSelectDemo1'); from button click or any other trigger/event.

Just use built in focus option! In controller put this code in needed method.

            if(yourform.$error.required[0].$$attr.focusOn){
                $scope.$broadcast(yourform.$error.required[0].$$attr.focusOn);
            }

And also define focus prop for ui-select

focus-on="UiSelectDemo1"

Incase if you are trying to achieve it from controller or directive (this method works independently and its completely angular way to do so) -

say ui-select is wrapped within div-

<div id="ui-select-wrapper">
    <ui-select>
        ...
    </ui-select>
</div>

Controller Method to setFocus - 

var uiSelectWrapper = document.getElementById('ui-select-wrapper');
var focusser = uiSelectWrapper.querySelector('.ui-select-focusser');

var focusser = angular.element(uiSelectWrapper.querySelector('.ui-select-focusser'));

focusser.focus();

If you want to make your ui-select focused and opened after initialization:

yourModule.directive('uiSelectOpened', function($timeout) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: 'uiSelect',
        link: function(scope, element, attrs, uiSelect) {
            $timeout(()=> uiSelect.toggle())
        }
    };
});

html:

<ui-select ... autofocus="true" ui-select-opened>...</ui-select>

Actually, it's fairly simple. A simple look at the documentation will tell you this.

autofocus: Automatically get focus when loaded. Default value is 'false'

So, just add that to the first line of your html like <ui-select class="cursorISI aaa selectType2 border-fixed" autofocus="true"

Hope this helps - Cheers

I had this same issue and needed to add a directive

.directive('focusMe', function($timeout) {
    return {
      scope: {trigger: '@focusMe'},
      link: function(scope, element) {
        scope.$watch('trigger', function(value) {
          if (value === 'true') {
            $timeout(function() {
              element[0].focus();
            });
          }
        });
      }
    };
  })

then your ui-select add

 focus-me="true"
