​Do you want:

(00,05], (05,10], etc
or
(00,05], (01,06]​, (02, 07], etc

In either case you would want to build out a table containing that start
and end points (two columns or an actual range-typed column), then join T1
to that table with an ON clause (t1.timestamp BETWEEN r1.rangestart AND
r1.rangeend)

Then:
SELECT r1.rangein, count(t1.id)
FROM t1 RIGHT JOIN r1 ON (...)
GROUP BY r1.rangeid

You have to build the range table if you want to be able to show zero
counts.
