I have a device posting data approx 1/min, but never exactly on the minute mark. (Or at least very rare).  
If I then choose line graph aggregation “mean” and resolution of 1 minute, will the mean value be calculated based on data points between each minute, or +/- 30 sec on each side of the minute mark?

Any clarification here would be great.

Hi Lars,

The `Aggregation` for the Time Series Graph will be calculated using state values that were reported within the `Resolution` value. The reported state values will be “bucketed” using their timestamps.

For example, with a resolution of `one minute`, a state with a timestamp of September 21st, 12:06:57 will be averaged with any states reported within the minute of 12:06:00:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

Thanks,  
Julia
