Description

This is a more of an open issue. We want to maximize efficiency of queries done to DB, especially because they are done on Raspberry Pi with limited computing power. Right now we ask db for points in 1 second intervals, so when we ask for 1hour of historic data it responds with 3600 points.
It was done that way because ON/OFF telemetry could be lost when larger intervals were to be used. But for normal temperature / pressure values I think we can make the interval larger and maybe use "mean" aggregation.

So overall, the task is to measure current time of query and try to lower it.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or query entry point; start by locating where historical telemetry queries are assembled and run. Measure the current query time on the Raspberry Pi, then evaluate interval and aggregation changes for temperature and pressure while checking that ON/OFF telemetry is not lost. Done means a measured query-time improvement with the relevant telemetry behavior documented.
