Building automation and control systems integrate heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, sensing, and management functions through specialized communication protocols. While this integration enables flexible building operation, it also creates complex cyber-physical environments that are difficult to inspect, secure, and explain to new analysts. This paper presents a practical security and human-centered case study of a BACnet/IP building automation testbed with DALI lighting infrastructure, investigated during a domotics-oriented cybersecurity hackathon in Thun, Switzerland in April 2026. The study combines network-oriented enumeration, object-level inspection, physical rack analysis, and reflective HCI analysis of tool-supported learning. Using Yabe and BACteria, the work documents observable BACnet services, reconstructs structured object hierarchies, identifies room-level lighting-control paths, and maps BACnet objects to DALI group-level infrastructure. The analysis emphasizes that BACS assessment is not only a technical protocol task: it also requires usable tool interfaces, physical observability, interpretable naming conventions, and safe mental models for command priorities. The paper contributes a compact case study of BACnet/DALI exploration in an educational testbed and discusses implications for cybersecurity education, human-centered security tooling, and responsible experimentation in cyber-physical building environments.
