Hey,
you have to try a little ;-)

WITH multis AS (
                SELECT id, status,* min(timestamp) as time_start,
max(timestamp) as time_end, *ST_MakeLine( point_geom ORDER BY timestamp) AS
mylines
                FROM your_table
GROUP BY id, status
)

SELECT id, status,time_start, time_end, (ST_Dump(mylines)).geom
FROM multis

Cheers,
Rémi-C
