You will see the list of available simulators, you have two choices.
3.1 If you have no simulator running, just add a deeplink or select one from the history first and click in the device / simulator that you want to run that deeplink.
3.2 If you have any simulator already running you can find in the list, will show as green, add a deeplink or select one from the history if you already did before.
As it's a developer tool you should have:
- Xcode installed
- Command line tools installed *(you can download this from your apple developer account - "https://developer.apple.com/download/more/")
Important to know, as after some Xcode updates you can have some old device reference's, that actually is "unavailable", for this tool we always clean this as they can't be selected.

When the simulator is close, and I click to open and the SkyBar start the 'Simulator' always open another device.
Answer: It's a know 'issue' actually by some reason that I really don't know when you open programmtically simulator always start with a default simulator 🤷.
