Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to import short term statistics (i.e., once every 5 minutes) as well as the hourly statistics that your integration currently covers.

Describe the solution you'd like

Similar code with ability to upload a file with short term statistics data to be entered into the statistics_short_term table. (Ideally, also a REST API so json encoded short term statistics could be added via an API rather than uploading a file)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually adding stuff to the SQLite database or purging the recorder.
