Pat,

Why would my Davis Vantage Pro2 be any different than any one elses? 

Here is the latest non-0 rain data, which supports your idea to use 
rainRate rather than rain.

dateTime rain rainRate
1536705240 0.01 0.0270967741935484
1536704340 0.01 0
1536703200 0.01 0
1536701220 0.01 0
1536692220 0.02 1.41193548387097
1536692160 0.03 2.21870967741936
1536692100 0.02 0.904193548387097
