switcher.js changing "checked" programatically

Hello. I am using your switcher.js, and I like it very much, however
I am needing to programmatically change the "Checked" state, and switcher.js does not automatically change appearance when I do this.
Regular checkboxes seem to work fine, but not when I wrap them in switcher. Perhaps it is not possible.

I simply use jquery to make the programatic change: $("#myElement").prop("checked", false);

Your kind help would be appreciated.
