Questions about using a DGT e-Board on Lichess

Hello,

I would like to ask for clarification regarding the use of a DGT e-Board on Lichess.

First, I noticed that Blitz games cannot be played when using a DGT e-Board, and I would like to understand the reason for this limitation. Is it related to technical constraints, fair play considerations, or anti-cheating measures? Are there specific time controls that are recommended or allowed when using a DGT e-Board?

Second, I would also like to ask whether it is permitted to solve puzzles (tactics) on Lichess using a DGT e-Board, or if this feature is currently unsupported or restricted.

I am asking only to better understand the rules and to use the platform correctly.

Thank you for your time and clarification.

Blitz is allowed for direct challenges. See https://lichess.org/page/eboards
There shouldn't be any issues with puzzles.

I don't think the native interface (menu Play / DGT board) supports move input via e-board in puzzles (or anywhere except in a running game) but Chessconnect extension for Chromium/Chrome does, IIRC. (But better check, I'm not 100% sure about either.)

Yes, I know about chessconnect, I tried to connect it to play on chess.com, but for some reason it didn't work out for me. I was in the settings, I entered all the data correctly and connected it, but for some reason when I make a move on the board, it is not transmitted. Maybe you know how to connect the board to chess.com or how to properly configure chessconnect.
Thank you!

I don't; I don't even have an account there. But I tried Chessconnect on lichess and it worked fine here. (But as I prefer Firefox, I'm mostly using the other way.)
