Description

As a user using a dashboard, if I set the viewing time to 6am I would like all my graphs to start at 6am (even if there is no data)

In the screenshot, the temps for the fire start flowing in at about 6:05am, but the meat isn't on until 6:40. Since the graphs don't align on the time range in the dashboard, it kind of messes up the whole use case.
