Import historical data to Home Assistant (discuss.tchncs.de)

Is there a convenient way to add historical data to the database?

I used ioBroker in the past and stored sensor and entity data in a postgres db.

What would be the best approach to import this data to Home Assistant?

This forum post hints at some of the complexities involved with handling long-term data natively in HA: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/long-term-statistics-what-is-the-retention-policy-and-how-can-it-be-changed/335050

Needless to say, HA is a great tool, and its short-term monitoring capabilities are decent, but it isn't great at everything and I think that processing datasets >10 days is just not really within it's capabilities at this time.
