A device that requires a manual switch to be applied will not be used for long.
First flush devices are 100% ineffective when it comes to water quality and at best might be useful for diverting the large debris.

@limehouse10 what did they run you?

I purchased two at The Urban Farmer Store in San Francisco. They were easy to install by removing a section of downspout and works as a rain head, first flush and diverter. When the barrels are full, I simply switch the diverter and the downspout discharges exactly where it did before.
The Clean Rain first flush diverter is automatic, activating when water is detected to divert the first flush of water.
The manual switch shown at 2:13 provides on/off function and is used to manually direct water away from the cistern.
With regards to the effectiveness of first flush. Massey University/New Zealand investigated the benefits concluding from preliminary results that water quality improves dramatically.
