“In the beginning” it apparently wasn’t averaged yet, but at some point Athom actually thought it’s (marketed it as) a good idea:

> In Homey v1.x insights were stored indefinitely, simply added to a long list of entries. This gave many problems because simply put, Homey’s storage is not infinite. There’s about 1.6 GB available for user data, and minus apps and voices approximately 1 GB remains. When you have quite some devices running for a long time, you can easily see that storage becomes a problem.

> In Homey v2.0 we set out to solve this problem once and for all. A simple but brilliant solution has been implemented that averages insights over time. The farther you go in the past, the more we average. The smallest interval is 5 seconds, which is visible for the last hour. The largest interval is 1 day, which is used for one or more years. Which is a fine tradeoff, because who want’s to see their energy usage at 12:31 on Thursday more than 2 years ago? We definitely don’t!

.

Alternatively, many of your ideas & more is possible with the [DataVista widget app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-datavista/121482), to display graphs on the dashboard.

If you want data not to be averaged over time, you can export insights to .csv or mysql, influxdb, postgresql  
Just search the app store.
