Aggregation should be performed based on following time intervals:
HH = (HH-1):41 – HH:40
Example: 13 = observation period 12:41 to 13:40

    Should work like this:

    SELECT  date_trunc('hour', ts + interval '20 min') AS h
       ,avg(val) as avg_val
FROM    t
GROUP   BY 1
ORDER   BY 1;

    I add 20 minutes before I granulate the time with date_trunc() and then aggregate by it.
    Note that the border time 08:40 ends up in the average for 9 o’clock.

    Regular hourly grid

    … including hours without any rows in the base table:

    SELECT *
FROM   generate_series('2007-09-28 22:00'  -- first hour
                      ,'2007-09-29 05:00'  -- last hour
                      ,interval '1h') AS h
LEFT   JOIN (
    SELECT  date_trunc('hour', ts + interval '20 min') AS h
           ,avg(val) as avg_val
    FROM    t
    GROUP   BY 1
    ORDER   BY 1
    ) x USING (h);

    Use generate_series() and a LEFT JOIN for that.
