a hose from this, over the door to the rain butt feeding it through a

float valve would this work? Once the float rose and shut the valve
the
pipe would fill with water, then backup operating the rain diverter.

Would this work, or has anyone a better solution?

Rain supply will contain grit and muck, ballvalve needs clean water
otherwise it fails to close sometimes.

You could heath robinson it with a float operated guttering diverter:
