I'm sending it from Node Red using this url:

http://radmon.org/radmon.php?function=submit&user=user&password=pass&unit=CPM&value={{{payload}}}

Where {{{payload}}} is the numerical value. Do I need to add additional parameters to the string?

Ok I have found why its not working.
The string {{{payload}}} is being sent as 33CPM instead of 33.
This causes the value to be evaluated as a string instead of a number, which screws up the comparison of the CPM against the alarm value, which is why radmon.org alarms on every value.

Change your code to eliminate the 'CPM'.

No worries, it had me scratching my head for a little while, as I had taken a look at the http request and overlooked the extra CPM. Didn't notice it until I went back and checked again.
