date_trunc to aggregate values?

I am looking for suggestions on aggregation techniques using a timestamp column. In my case I have tried:

date_trunc('hour', derived_tsoil_fifteen_min_stacked.time2),

but date_truck only seems to aggregate the timestamp. I thought I could use

AVG(derived_tsoil_fifteen_min_stacked.value)

in combination with date_trunk, but I still get 15 minute values, not the hourly average from the four 15 minute records.

I was tying to get two records out of this set, with the 'avg" column representing the mean of the first and last four of each 15 minute records.

Suggestions?

Suggestions?

Are you using an explicit GROUP BY?

Here is what I have in the GROUP BY clause

GROUP BY
date_trunc('hour', derived_tsoil_fifteen_min_stacked.time2),
derived_tsoil_fifteen_min_stacked.time2,
data_key.site,
data_key.canopy,
data_key.variable_name,
data_key.plot
