Vitals show incorrect timestamp when viewed in "VITALS" tab #68

Expected behavior

When vitals are submitted to the cloud, for diagnostic purposes it should be possible to determine the time they have been submitted.

Observed behavior

When the submitted vitals are viewed in the "VITALS" tab in the console in any time frame other than "Last hour", the data appears to be averaged somehow and a incorrect time stamp is shown.

Steps to reproduce

Feature Requests

I use submission of hourly vitals to track the health of devices in a commercial context. In case the data stream misses data points or stops altogether, the vitals provide an easy and simple way to preliminary diagnose the cause for the loss of data (be it loss of cellular connection due to weak signal, discharged battery due to loss of power or, if everything looks fine maybe a bug in software). Sometimes drop outs are discovered only days in hindsight and the low resolution of the vitals history makes it hard to identify the time when vitals have been transmitted or not.
