Does this mean the hot water cylinder is heated by a fireplace backboiler?
Does the Vortex only supply water to the C/H?
Your latest photos show the supply cable from the FCU, connected into the box and permanently hold open the redundant 2 port valve, with no connections on the micro switch.
The other cable coming out of the box supplies the boiler, meaning the permanent live in the boiler is connected to the switched live terminal 1.
If the Vortex was only contributing to C/H, it may be possible to clean this up via DIY.
However, if the fireplace is connected to the heating and you want the Vortex to also supply hot water, then it appears your whole system requires an overhaul.
I believe this is a job for a knowledgeable boiler engineer, rather than an electrician, given the redundant zone valve etc.
