I am curious if anyone knows of a two way mechanical switch that can be manipulated via a person and an electrical signal?

I want to be able to activate the switch but back drive it to reset it if no user is present too. I can clarify and my apologies if I have missed a detail. Thank you in advance!
 
So that compounds the issue. We actually need to be able to sense the position of someone manually moves it.
 
What exactly is it that you are trying to do?

When the actor flips the dummy switch, the scene supervisor (watching) presses the real button that actually makes something happen (remotely) ... When the dummy switch needs to move on its own for the camera, the solenoid underneath the panel/faceplate moves it when the scene supervisor presses the (remote) button that activates it ...
 
Sense position and feedback electrically. Be able to move the switch manually but also have a way of actuating it bi directionally electrically.
 
That's the requirement. The required feedback time is very short.
